Good catch Balázs, thanks!
I've committed a test and fix to trunk.
The fix is to create an entirely new binding for the new name, rather than reusing the old binding and just chaining the key. That's a change in behaviour, but I think it's correct. That way methods that refer to the old name will now have an undeclared binding with a nil value, and the new name will correctly refer to the renamed class.
This avoids leaving methods in an inconsistent state where their source code doesn't match their compiled state. Methods that refer to the old name will have an undefined binding, while methods that refer to the new name will be bound to the correct class. That's how it should work at the low level--the tools should be responsible for fixing up the source code to use the new name and recompiling.
