To answer my own question, no, it won't: it will move all the 5.0 pages that have 5.1 redirects to pages named "Broken/ID:nnnn" and the result is a huge mess.
Either the redirects must be deleted first, or the code in cleanupTitles fixed to move over redirects.

Yes, it is ...
cleanupTitles will resolve collisions with redirects?

I've looked at this a bit more. There are more serious problems.
Apparently, no-one converted the 5.0 titles in the wiki to 5.1 when "normalization" was turned on; there are pages that can't be accessed. (!) for example, try this (Malayalam for "fish"):
http://ml.wiktionary.org/wiki/%E0%B4%AE%E0%B5%80%E0%B4%A8%E0%B5%8D%E2%80%8D
that gets normalized to 5.1, which is a redirect to the 5.0 form (in this case) which is normalized back to 5.1. (there is a variation in the 5.0 form too that complicates it) The content page exists (I can see it in the XML dump), but can't be accessed because there is no way of referring to it.
Request on bugzilla a run of cleanupTitles.php on mlwiki.
