Tom, I've tried many of the things that you've tried, although you've certainly went farther. You are correct that the only workarounds for the lack of User Scripts are a messy combination of Code Snippets, Behaviors and Services. This is still awful because…
• The "new, improved" scripts can't do everything that Xcode 3's UserScripts did, due to the lack of the environment variables which are available in User Scripts.
• Keyboard shortcuts are limited.
• AppleScriptability hardly works at all in Xcode 4.
• AppleScripts and Services execute way slower than User Scripts written in Perl.
• It's a mess to keep your scripts in three different tools, compared to User Scripts which unified all nicely.

Thank you. It will be marked as a dupe of mine, and others'.
I still spend most of my time on my big old project, in Xcode 3. I use Xcode 4 for little new projects and toys. I hope Apple gets enough bug reports to fix User Scripts in Xcode 4 before I need to use it on a real project. Even though I spent many hours on them, I don't think that my library of several dozen User Scripts will have much value on ebay.
