This wouldn't happen to be an ipart that you are replacing would it?
I ask because if you make a part an ipart after it has been inserted into an assembly it will not allow you to swap it out without doing what you already did.

The Replace Component is in the "Component" box, you will need to use the drop-down arrow of ungroup it to the menu bar.
I've never had it continue to show in the Browser Bar.

screen shots.If you close the model and reopen does it correct itself.
Have you also installed updates 1 and 2 for IV2014?
Or is it changing in the browser but not doing a screen refresh.

Was the new part created FROM the old part? If so, is there a chance the old part name may still be somewhere in the new part's iproperties?
Either way you can change it on the fly by right clicking the part in the browser and selecting iproperties, the go to the Occurance tab. My aplogies if you already knew that.

Normally you require #1 before #2 on SP's, not sure on the Updates though and SP's contain all the Hot-Fixes added from the last SP.

Every program I have ever seen and worked with when you load the latest SP or update it includes all of the previous ones.

If you've manually renamed the component either through a slow double click or through the iProperties>Occurrence>Name field then the new part will retain the overridden occurrence name of the previous part.
Try resetting the browser name of the original part by going to the iProperties>Occurrence>Name field and clearing out the box. This will reset it to the default name. Then try the replace component command and see if it updates.
