Renaming any user control assigned to a layout breaks the edit-layout page for any layouts that reference the old control file name. You are unable to edit the layout(s) that include the control until the control file name is returned to its original name.
This applies to both Able user controls as well as any custom controls you've created and referenced in a layout.

Re: Gold R5 Renaming user control break edit-layout page
We have fixed our layout editor so that it will not break in such a situation. However when you make such a change, there is no gurantee that your retail side page will not break. It can happen that when the page is rendered by ASP.NET, it fails to find the control being referenced. So when renaming of controls is done, the developer will have to be cautious about not breaking any existing master pages that use the control.
