A possible workaround would be this:

1 create a new layer
2 place an arbitrary polygon on the new layer
3 save
4 open the .pcb file in and editor
5 locate the polygon with the hole that needs to be moved
6 "cut" the hole text
7 "paste" the hole text to replace the arbitrary polygon in the new layer
8 save
9 move the "hole" (now a polygon on the new layer) in PCB
10 save
11 in the text editor move the "hole" back from the new layer to being
a hole in your original polygon
12 save

Only twelve steps :-)
