FTP and moving the whole container are probably your easiest solutions. But:

One could, I suppose, try to provide an '_get_id(id)' Python script that 
did not do the "copy_of_" magic and just returned the id it was given. 
Dunno if that would work. It might.

Another solution is to write a script that deletes the other object 
first. You could also try to do a '_setObject' directly.
