(Get the code!)
What about doing something sort of similar to what Dolphin does for selecting items. When you hover the mouse over an item in dolphin, it shows a (+) sign you can click to select it. What could be done in this case is to show a rename icon/button near the selected -- and only the selected -- files (maybe closer to the label than to the icon). The target would be small enough and distinct enough to reduce accidents, and would make the feature more discoverable for users who don't know about it.
