I activate a Hate Weaver targeting a Flying Men. With that ability on the stack, my opponent resolves Mind Bend targeting Hate Weaver, changing "blue" to "green". Is Hate Weaver's ability countered on resolution?
More generally, does a text change on the source of an ability affect that ability?

He would have to change the text on the source before you activate the ability. This is because abilities on the stack exist independent of their sources.

Nope. The text of the ability on the stack was defined at the time the ability was activated. Changing the text of the source of the ability after the fact doesn't affect the ability on the stack, since the object on the stack now exists independently of the source of the ability.
