Obviously, this is one of the hard to discover features. It is not
in the GUI and the manual just mention renumber with a one-liner. 
http://pcb.gpleda.org/pcb-cvs/pcb.html#Renumber-Action
There is no hint, how to actually do the back-annotation on the
gschem side. Not in the pcb manual and not in the gschem manual,
either.

Me too. :-)

* It can't deal with refdeses that have been mangled in any way. This 
prevents the application with simple hirarchical designs.

* It does not deal with refdeses changed manually by the user. 

* It always applies to all components. There is no way to not renumber
some parts of the layout.
