hmm, looks like my example still touched too much areas ;)
how to solve:

* Document this feature and warn people not to do it.

can we get a warning each time a target time gets overwritten by a filedate that
is older? (somehow the target didn't update the corrosponding file). might point
to a poorly constructed target.

* Always force the target time to *now* even if the file exists and has a
  different time stamp.

doing this with e.g. an attribute may come handy when dealing with lots of flag
file dependencies (e.g. helpcontent2)

* touch the target instead of statting it. This might be slightly complicated,
  see Stat_target() in stat.c because the target file name might not be
  well-defined (.SOURCE and friends).

sounds a bit too much like "hidden magic" to me...

but still just thoughts...
