It would be nice if the GUI were to bind a key (like F5) so that whenever it was pressed, the GUI would immediately update. This would be especially helpful when the GUI seems to freeze.

Can you give any (reproducible) cases in which the GUI freezes?

Sometimes, while syncing, the "blocks left" estimate seems to stick at one number, then jumps ahead.

The client relies on peer information to guess the number of blocks remaining. It's possible that it jumps erratically when better information is suddenly available.

Indeed; a refresh option wouldn't help you here, the GUI can't display information that it doesn't have. It "refreshes" (well, polls for changes in block # and such) every 250 milliseconds.
Also the "blocks left" estimate is gone in the next version, so I'm closing this issue.
