Sorry for the latency in responses, I'll update once I'll manage to test it
on those.

It's still there :-(. I've used your patch and added my small addition[1] to
test the sysfs_rename_link() (on top of net-next, 3.13-rc7), however the
issue is still there:

The current scheme (sysfs_remove_link() + sysfs_add_link()) works perfectly
well without any namespaces. I'll dig into it once I have some spare time,
it's not at all critical.
[1]: the patch (I've included your patch too, just in case):
