 > [attachment:4328.patch] seems like it's really the only thing needed
 here (I've not looked into it)

 I've been thinking about this, with an intent of trying some code out,
 however I think i should also note here this thought:

  - For hierarchical post types, the `_wp_old_slug` value should be the
 full hierarchical path, for example, given `/foo/bar/` and `/bar/`  being
 moved to `/subpage/foo/bar/` and `/subpage/bar/` respectively, I'd expect
 `/foo/bar/` and `/bar/` to redirect to the correct locations.

 The current patch doesn't do that, as it'd only store `bar` for both of
 these pages (Well, it wouldn't actually, as it only compares on slugs, but
 ignoring that..)
