Bug: Topic rename changes references to topics of the same name in other webs

If you rename a topic in one web and there is a topic of the same name in another web, references to the topic in the other web will be changed if they occur in the same topic as a reference to the topic being renamed.

Test case

1. Create WelcomeGuest in Sandbox
2. Create a topic that refers to both WelcomeGuest in Sandbox and WelcomeGuest in TWiki
3. Rename WelcomeGuest in Sandbox

In the topic created at step 2 the reference to WelcomeGuest in TWiki changes. This change is not highlighted on the rename form.

Follow up

With little further exploration I found the following related topics:

• RenamingTopicsAffectsNonTopics
• RenameScriptMissesSomeReferrers which seems not to be resolved after all. Extend the test case above to include Sandbox WelcomeGuest and the reference is highlighted on the rename form, but not changed.

My reading of the code (Store::updateReferingPages) is that the same code causes all these problems. I have not found the code that is used to create the rename form with highlights for the changes that will be made, but it looks as if the code that makes the changes uses a different and less accurate test.
