[6.9.0 - Beta 30] Moving a file on the cache to a share with cache off keeps it on there forever

This is intended behaviour.    There are some Use Cases that exploit this behavior.

Interesting. The bug report forum probably isn't the best place to discuss this, then, but what is the recommended way to move a file from a cached share to a non-cached share? Is it recommended to first run a copy, then delete the original?

Yes, you need to use copy/delete if you want the file to end up on a different drive.    It is a quirk of the Linux implementation of the ‘mv’ where if source and target appear to be on the same mount point (/mnt/user) a rename is issued (which leaves the file on the same drive) rather than a copy/delete action.

Changed Status to Closed

Changed Priority to Other

You can use:

mv /mnt/user/a/foo /mnt/user0/b/

to have it moved outside cache

edit: will not work for mover though, but if You have something specific You could make a custom scheduled script or something
