Yes, I think it should.  I'll fix this in the reroll.

module_name uses whatever's in .gitmodules.  I'm not sure what you mean
by "renamed a submodule", since "git mv foo bar" fails with:

  vauxhall ok % git mv .vim/bundle/ctrlp .vim/bundle/ctrlq
  fatal: source directory is empty, source=.vim/bundle/ctrlp, destination=.vim/bundle/ctrlq

Can you provide me a set of steps to reproduce that operation so I can
test it effectively?
