If I understand you correctly, I don't actually view this as breakage.
If I have

* A
** B
** C

and I archive B, then rename A to D, then archive C, my archive file
becomes:

* A
** B
* D
** C

which is exactly what I want.  Likewise if I were to relocate A to a
different level rather than rename it.  Am I missing something?

I'll try `org-agenda-archive-to-archive-sibling' as suggested by
Manuel.  Incidentally I notice that this function appears to be
undocumented.

Thanks both!
