But I think qmake also supports moc file.h -> file.moc when included by .cpp nowadays?

Actually it's more like
am_edit/unsermake
  moc file.h -> file.moc if included from .cpp, otherwise file_moc.cpp
  qobjects in file.cpp -> not supported

bksys
  (I'm not sure; probably what you said)

I work on Qt-only projects, and I very much dislike that grep hits moc_file.cpp files too
(I know, doesn't happen with srcdir!=builddir or a moc dir, but with qmake the support for 
a moc dir broke in Qt4 (in our case)). ".moc" is really fine. And it's also what every
KDE developer is used to, now, you also have to take that into account :-)
