Comment (by ccrook):

 Also found this is a problem.  Looks like it was considered in the code
 (there are commented out connections signals when the data columns is
 changed, though there is no corresponding slot coded that I can see
 (qgsgraduatedsymbolrendererv2widget.cpp).

 I think that this is a necessary use-case - setting up classification
 ranges and symbology can take significant user input and it is reasonable
 to want to change the symbology to use a different columns (typically in a
 cross-tab type data set, with columns for a number of different,
 equivalent items)

 Currently workaround is to save the project, edit the column name in the
 .qgs project file, and reload.
