If I book a refundable K fare do the miles count towards status?

Today? Yes, regardless of (non-)refundability.
As of January 1, 2003:
"members will not receive miles or segment credit toward Dividend Miles Chairman's Preferred, Gold Preferred or Silver Preferred status for tickets purchased in H, K, V, Q and L non-refundable fare classes."
So if you can find a refundable K you ought to receive tier miles. But I doubt that you'll ever find such a thing.

You might be surprised ... some advance purchase fares in Southwest markets may be refundable K's ... although not US, I've seen them on DL (back when K was their second lowest fare class, which is no longer the case), which certainly surprised me at the time ...

This answers my question about the refundable H that I often (but not often enough) buy.
