Hm we use DevMode and rename-to and never had any problems with it. We have something like App.gwt.xml, DevApp.gwt.xml (contains logging and inherits App.gwt.xml), DevAppGecko.gwt.xml (contains use.agent and inherits DevApp.gwt.xml) and all have the same rename-to="app" attribute, so we don't have to change the host html page script src path. We also run DevMode in Eclipse using the Google Eclipse Plugin and our server side code runs on an external server. So pretty much what you have.
In some few situations (like adding/removing modules in the run configuration) I remember that the command line parameters for DevMode were messed up by the Google Eclipse Plugin and you had to correct them manually. But that has happened quite some time ago and it never happened again since then. It's pretty much what has been said in comment 6 in your linked bug report I guess. Have you carefully checked the command line parameters for DevMode in your run configuration? -- J.
