No, IPs and new editors are still not allowed to move pages on enwiki.
 In effect, all pages are semi-move-protected (since you have to be
autoconfirmed to even have the move option), which makes the
semi-move-protection option entirely redundant.  However, the
requirements for being autoconfirmed are quite low so it doesn't stop
much.
