I haven't been able to make this work with my setup after switching to
IDO. My current workaround is visit the target with C-u C-c C-w and
create the new target heading, then return and refile to that -- but
it's not very elegant.
My attempts are refiling and creating with IDO give the following error:

and to get that I have to type the entire target with a trailing slash
like this:
Tasks/Organization/foo/ (todo.org)
to try to create foo as a 3rd level heading under Tasks/Organization in
todo.org but that doesn't work for me.
I haven't found a way to edit the IDO completion so I can just add foo/
to it in the appropriate place.
Sorry that's not much help :/

Bernt
