We had many requests to remove the duplicate filename check. Possibly a better long-term solution would be to add the filename check as a configuration option, so that you could choose whether or not to allow a different filename to be checked-in.
I have come across many times where someone updated the document name after they checked it out (ex. Test_doc_v1.doc to Test_doc_v2.doc) but when they went to checkin the file it would bounce back because of the filename change. The current behavior makes the filename just another dynamic meta data field instead of a hard-coded field.
