Re: blame -C: adding a line in moved content sometimes affect blame result

After moving content from file1 to file2, "git blame -C file2"

blame -C file2" fails to detect that the top or bottom of the moved
contents came from file1.

Probably your first few remaining lines of file2 are considered
insignificant copy by the logic in step 4 described in:
