It keeps the file handle to the inode not the filename so when you mv
filea fileb the listener is still writing to the inode which now belongs
to fileb so if you want to move it you need to do the set listener.
On the other hand if you cp filea to fileb then the listener is stilled
pointed at inode in filea so if you intend to truncate then the cat
/dev/null cleans out file a whilst all contents up to that point are now
in fileb.
i think most unixes allow
> filea
to delete its contents

Why is it necessary to null out the file? Does LSNR keep a open file
