%%%To reproduce the bug:

Insert a armature in the default scene.
Insert a key for the bone with I -> Location
Rename the bone

The group name will not be updated. If you now create a second bone, rename it to "Bone" (the name the group currently has), and insert another location key, then both bones will belong to the same group. Without any option to rename or modify the group the user can only delete the keys to bring stuff in order again.%%%

%%%Known limitation.

Officially, these are not explicitly "bone channels", but rather just generic groups that happen to be used for grouping together all the channels of bones. Hence, originally the syncing code was never put in. Nevertheless, this is problematic for most users, so it will be fixed.

NOTE: it is possible to rename groups. Just Ctrl-Click on the names to do so. The very same trick works in the Outliner.%%%

%%%Fixed in svn.

Regarding your question: Currently it's not possible (from the UI, and it probably doesn't work/isn't safe to do from PyScripts). Having said that, it has been lurking on one of my todo lists floating around (it might've been on the one that's now pile under an unwieldy stack of papers now ;) though I haven't had time to address it yet.%%%
