Hmm... I think I see what you mean

(1) darcs changes --summary --reverse
-------------------------------------
Wed Sep 30 18:55:14 BST 2009  Eric Kow <E.Y.Kow at brighton.ac.uk>
  * add d

    A ./d/

Wed Sep 30 18:55:38 BST 2009  Eric Kow <E.Y.Kow at brighton.ac.uk>
  * Add d/foo

    A ./d/foo

Wed Sep 30 18:56:33 BST 2009  Eric Kow <E.Y.Kow at brighton.ac.uk>
  * modify d/foo

    M ./d/foo +1

(2) darcs annotate d/
---------------------
# Created by  [add d

     Ignore-this: 196b2edec91d4d739a9884c7dfc0d374
    ]  as ./d/foo
    foo File modified

On the other hand, I get 'foo File modified' which you don't
seem to.

    A ./e/bar

    bar File added

# Eric Kow <E.Y.Kow at brighton.ac.uk>**20090930175538
     Ignore-this: 196b2edec91d4d739a9884c7dfc0d374
    ]  as ./d/foo
    foo

Huh! No file modified.  Was darcs annotate confused by the move of the
underlying directory?

Doing more experiments with this, I get the impression that darcs annotate is
pretty fragile with respect to moves :-(  Instead of moving d to e, first
try moving foo to bar.  Then trying moving d  to e.

Rather different results.

I think you could mine this for a bug report or two...
