mc loses files on "skip" when "Cannot preallocate space for target file"

Description

As reported in ​https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=767463

I just wanted to move some old IRC logs to the side, so I marked them,
hit F6 to move to the old/ subdirectory, and told mc to append.

I got an error message:

║ Cannot preallocate space for target file "/home/t/tglaser~ev_arandom.log" ║
║ Bad file descriptor (9) ║

When I hit “abort”, it cleanly aborted, and nothing happened.
But when I hit “skip”, the target(!) file is deleted.

① Why does this error occur in the first place? Filesystem is:

/dev/sda6 on /home type ext3 (rw,relatime,quota,usrquota,data=ordered)

② It should not lose data.
