It did, `rename-file' and `copy-file' doesn't return anything useful.
Should be fixed in CVS.  Here's the current logic:

    (when (and (file-exists-p oldfile) (not (file-exists-p newfile)))
      (message "nnimap: Upgrading novcache filename...")
      (sit-for 1)
      (gnus-make-directory (file-name-directory newfile))
      (unless (ignore-errors (rename-file oldfile newfile) t)
	(if (ignore-errors (copy-file oldfile newfile) t)
	    (delete-file oldfile)
	  (error "Can't rename `%s' to `%s'" oldfile newfile))))
