It is probably not the same issue, but the symptoms look similar.

The culprint is this line:
https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-mysql/mariadb-10.0.git/tree/debian/mariadb-server-10.0.postinst?id=53ec8b7dd63ed47bf44d92207f188f8db63be1f1#n187

It seems that in your situation the variable $oldconf was empty and
the test '[ -e $oldconf ] && mv $oldconf $dc' does not work as
expected.

This should now be fixed in commit
