That was my implementation assumption too.
If you deem it too complicated, I would have perhaps a simpler idea: "deferred
renaming".
The actual, physical renaming would be done after user closes the document. 
At least on platforms not supporting opened file renaming, like Windows.

LO just need to display modified "Save changes to document" dialog informing
that rename is going to happen and user can still have option to cancel and not
go through.

Also on the UI level the name should be displayed in a different font color
indicating that the physical rename hasn't happened yet. 

I know, it's not ideal, but for most user, like me, it would still make my work
much easier. I have lost of documents and I like consistent naming which is
difficult to achieve, because you have to first, open the file and to see the
content, to decide on the name, but you cannot, because it is open.
