Pleasure to meet a fellow named destination seeker! You have done what I was able to do and more, so far. I have only been able to edit existing named destinations so far, I'm afraid.
In fact, I found that if you use this method to change the names of named destinations, their properties are changed to the point that they are not usable. I am still working on this as time permits. What version of PDFBox are you on, BTW? It's up to 1.2 now, FYI. Not sure if that would help, or not. I'm still on the last version.
