This is actually (not) working as intended right now. Updating element URIs can be a little expensive since there could be a large number of descendants that each need to be resaved. So instead of trying to do all of those saves in the initial structures/move-element request, it’ handled by a queue job.

There’s no telling when that queue job will be finished, so the control panel doesn’t even try to keep itself updated with those changes.

That said, we’re going to discuss a couple options next week and see if there’s a middle ground that would fix this for the common scenarios.

I forgot about this bug - but I just realised it's still there in 4.4.16.1 Are there any plans to fix this? I appreciate it might not be straightforward.

Correct, we’ll update this issue when there’s progress.
