Remember to cover the basics, that is, what you expected to happen and
what in fact did happen. You don't know how to make a good report? See
http://orgmode.org/manual/Feedback.html#Feedback
Your bug report will be posted to the Org-mode mailing list.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
The documentation doesn't specify whether the cons cells are ANDed or
ORed together when selecting refile targets.

I'm not really sure what you mean, so let me tell you how I understand
this variable and then come back to the question of what you would like
to see.
AFAIK, the variable is used to construct a set of possible targets: you
select the items to refile and then you select *one* item from this
set. There is completion: as you type, the set is cut down to whatever
subset matches your current input - org does not let you finish until
the refiling target has been specified uniquely.
Each element of the org-refile-targets list generates a set of posssible
targets. The whole set is the union of these partial sets. Since ORs map
to unions and ANDs to intersections, I guess one could say that they are
ORed together, but personally I find it confusing to think of it in
these terms.
Assuming that this is correct, does it help? And if it is correct and it
does help, what would you change in the docs to incorporate this
information? And how?

Then think of it / describe it in terms of set unions. ORing predicates
creates a set union.

I would change the doc for org-refile-targets to say that the resulting
list of targets is the union of all the targets matched by each cons
cell. I think you could take that pretty much verbatim.
