I think it's time to start a collection to send James to Budapest to work with the Graphisoft developers on their interface for Archicad. All of James' suggestions seem to be well thought out and a great improvement over the existing.

To add to your feature list, wouldn't it be nice if we had:
1) A filter button or something to Show Only Layers that are Empty/Not Empty/Both.
2) A column in the Layers side of the dialog that showed the Number of Entities on each layer. This could make it easier to delete unused layers or quickly see if a particular layer has limited/heavy amounts of data on it.
If you like the above ideas and wish to update your image....
Maybe you'd also consider putting a Pen Selector icon in the Layer Combination side of the dialog box promoting the idea of having Multiple Pen Sets (per the link I provided earlier). This icon being in line with the layer combination Name in the scroll list.

This I think gets confusing and complicated...I wouldn't want to see the Layer Setting become even more cluttered.

James wrote:Filtering was the idea, not purging. What Attribute Manager does is limited and doesn't filter layers. If one purges, they might remove layers they were intending to use later and mess up useful layer combinations.
Lastly, re purging empty layers from the layers dialogue, well seeing as you can already do this via the Attribute Manager...
