%%%When attempting to add new objects and change the properties via the operator panel, the settings are greyed-out and not usable. This also applies to the F6 window. Restoring to factory settings fixed the problem. The problem persists in 2.60 if I load the .blend saved in 2.57. Clearly there is some setting I have saved that is not allowing the operator properties to be changed.

Repro steps: open attached .blend, attempt to add a new object (sphere, cylinder, etc) and modify its settings via the operator panel or the F6 operator panel overlay.

%%%File attached here works perfectly here. Maybe there's something with your startup.blend. You can try loading factory settings and setting them up again and see if bug continues. But before this you'll probably want to backup your current startup.blend and send it here for further investigation.%%%

%%%It seems you're on the right track. After resetting factory settings, then loading the .blend, the panel worked. So there must be something wrong with my startup.blend.

The test file I attached was saved by opening blender and immediately doing save-as with an empty scene.

My startup.blend is attached%%%

%%% I can't redo the problem even with the startup.blend loaded. Disabling the undo system or settings steps to 0 might cause this, but that doesn't seem to be the case here.%%%

%%%Brecht, can easily reproduce this issue with attached startup.blend and factory settings. Issue is disabled Global Undo in user preferences. AFAIK, it's limitation of operators redo panel.%%%

%%%Just to confirm on my end, activating Global Undo and restarting resolved this.%%%

%%%I have found in multiple sessions now, the Global Undo turning itself off - I have not changed it in the settings. Is there a hotkey setting, or some situation where it will be disabled?%%%

%%%Can't see any hotkeys for this, but can see some addons which are disabling global undo and which probably not restoring it properly in case of some error. Are you using some addons and probably you noticed some error reporting from them?%%%

%%%So, issue with graying redo panel out when global undo is disabled is a known limitation of undo/redo system. Can't see anything suspicious in blender's code or in addons which are in trunk which can lead to automatic disabling global undo in user preferences.
Anyway, to fix this kind of issue we'll need to know exact steps to reproduce it because it never happened to us before. As i told, it might be caused your configuration -- some scripts or contrib addons.
Will close this report because initial issue was resolved. When you'll find out when exactly global undo is getting disabled -- feel free to write comment here or open another report.%%%
