Hmmmm.... after rewriting the process to use XML the result is the same. itemRenderer just will not refresh its display while the underlying XML dataProvider is actually modified.
I'm about to abandon the TileList in favor of a AS created display array after spending 2 days on what should be a simple implementation. I still believe there's a simple solution - something I am missing.
