Yeah, now I come to think of it an unfound file probably indicates a
problem with the include path, so a better response might be to
indicate an error somehow.  (I've no reason to think that that
happened in my configuration: I think all the files were found.)

That all seems like the right thing to do.  I was thinking of
unselected buffers mostly (if they're being decorated or parsed or
whatever), an idle service could (once it has finished) set a
buffer-local variable containing the value of buffer-modified-tick and
point.  But maybe that's just not where significant work is being
done.  (Someone would need to profile and find out.)
