I see your point although I would contend that a Devel::Refcount module would be useful even if Test::Refcount didn't use it as knowing about B::SV->REFCNT is not easy. The B:: namespace not a place I would think that may perl programers would go and try searching on CPAN for reference counting and you will have a hard time finding out about B::svref_2object call let alone the REFCNT parameter. This may be a problem with CPAN and general lower level that reference counting exists in. If Paul "LeoNerd" Evens doesn't want to create the module Devel::Refcount along with Test::Refcount I would be happy to do it my self.
