Ahh!! Incandescent exclamation mark appears above my head! "hard link" had been my blind spot (I was trying to suss out how Trash works).
So the solution turns out to be simple:
1: Set up a new hard link to the file in .Trash from where it's supposed to be 2: Delete the entry in .Trash
Just for your info, mv does this if the files are on the same partition. (in the case that they're not it does a copy and then an unlink of the origional).
