Yes, there are data there (probably $MFTMirr, etc metadata) and those
can't be moved around at present.

Thank you, I've never seen this before.

If I remember correctly just removing that sanity check should make
things work, in theory. But yes, it *is* dangerous since although the
relevant code is implemented to support this case, it was never
tested because I've never met such volume.
I'll create an NTFS volume with this special case and check if it
works as expected ... unless somebody does before me and confirms it
works ;)
