Sometimes get file rename error at end of download

Running get_iplayer 3.06 on Win10 x64. Sometimes the rename of the mp4
file at the end of a download fails. ffmpeg creates the partial.mp4 file
without any problem, but get_iplayer.pl then fails to rename
.partial.mp4 to mp4. It's not a permissions problem, else ffmpeg would
not be able to create the partial.mp4 file.

The problem doesn't happen on every download, maybe one in three. All
downloads go into the same folder, in which I have full permissions.
Relevant part of the console output from running with --verbose.
