I tried to edit generated View, but it doesn't work - duplicated view is created (with error) and original is used instead. Am I missing something? I understand, that it's possible to create plugin, but it's difficult for me as non-programmer.

The vbo view plugin is actually a royal pain as well, I will take a look at this issue as soon as possible and get back to you though. Thanks!

Thanks. Perhaps there should be some mention, that we can build regular VBO view in the meantime? I use it as a workaround and it works properly (of course without exportables, etc.)

Any progress on this?

This is fixed in the D7 dev version and needs to be backported.

I don't believe this is fully resolved in the D7 version either.

The VBO plugin creates a view, which works and all.. It can be edited properly, however, the edited version can't be exported as part of a feature. If you build a feature, to even see the edited view the bulk_exports module has to be enabled, but even when it's available to add to the feature, it indicates that it is provided by a dependency, and the actual modified view code isn't added to the exported views.inc file that is part of the feature (assuming there are other views in that feature that is).

What I just did to get around this was to clone the edited version of the generated vbo view, and then change the page_manager display handler to panels. That seems less than ideal and overly cumbersome. Not sure if there's a better solution or not though.
