This is a command sequence you type manually?
Yea, and it is working with 3.3.0-rc1-next-20120124_64+. Not with
3.3.0-rc1-next-20120131_64+.

You are sure that userspace is not working in the background,
triggered by uevents, and comes into your way here?
Note that krtek exists after the first command. But cannot be renamed
further.
Yeah, I can confirm the problem here. I works fine with earlier
kernels and fails with the latest -next:

# uname -r
3.3.0-rc1-next-20120131+
# modprobe dummy
# ip link set dummy0 name foo0
# ip link set foo0 name bar0
