Wow.  OK -- something is very very broken on your system (I live by 
refactoring these days --  my variables are stronger, my method names 
more powerful, and my code-fu is much improved).  The Objective-C 2.0 
refactorings are simply a collection of refactoring operations that 
work pretty much exactly like the simpler ones.

Please sample Xcode and file a bug via http://bugreport.apple.com.
