_.string.join is used to concatenate lists of strings, and the optional
second argument is inserted between each pair of strings, so
_.string.join('fred', 'aahz') is 'faahzraahzeaahzd' ('fred' is a list of
four characters).

You're better off with:

<dtml-call "manage_renameObject(id, id + '.abc', REQUEST)">
