    I don't understand where to set these variables if I want to customize refinement for a particular invocation of ediff. They are
    buffer-local, so which buffer do I set them in?

    Would setting their default values help?

    Yes, but it would be inelegant :)

    I suppose the other thing would be to write a little wrapper round
    ediff which would just let-bind them.

    Or to write buffer-local variable settings into the files, which is
    slightly annoying since I'm mainly wanting to compare versions of files.
