In testing 5.0 RC1 Mattise, I have noticed that the dialog presented by the Change Variable Name context menu option sometimes does not allow the varible name to be edited. This does not seem to occur for components that have not yet had their names changed from the default value.

Sorry, I can't reproduce a described behaviour in RC2. I tried to change the name of several components (JToggleButon, JTextField, ..) and everything went well. Don't you mean an issue when dialog is appeared and the name is not possible to change? Please, try it in RC2 also.
