What do you mean by "has"?

The standard sense of 'directory has file'

Directory of C:\Program Files\Python30\Lib\lib2to3

What did you do,
Nothing relevant

what did you expect to happen instead?
To see Grammar3.0.0.beta.1.pickle or nothing like that at all.

The MSI file should have installed no .pickle files whatsoever.
Well, there it is, timestamped early May ;-)

was nothing updated for the beta?
or did grammar3.0.0.beta.a.pickle only make 2.6b1?

I cannot find any doc in the libref (it would belong, I believe, in
Development Tools).  Intentional? Not done yet?

Why would you think this file deserves any mentioning in the
documentation at all?

'Doc' refers to documentation for (lib)2to3 (see subject line), not the surprising g...pickle. I expected mention of the former because

1. All other modules and packages in Lib seem to be in the Lib. Ref..
2. 2to3 is for developer-users as well as core developers.
3. The lib2to3/refactor.py doc string says it is meant to be used.
