You can only retro-correct perspective if the subject is flat (2D);
the facades of many building are (close to) 2D, so this is feasible.

If you alter the perspective (implicitly altering the point where the image
was taken), and there is genuine perspective in the image
(lots of 3D objects ate various distances) it all goes wrong.

Sorry, this isn't true. Panotools and hugin can be used to perfectly simulate a shift lens (perfect in terms of geometry, not DoF). If you shoot f.e. above horizon with a shift lens you keep the sensor plane vertical (not tilted). That's why horizontals stay horizontal. The perspective isn't altered. As long as you shoot the source images for a mosaic from a common viewpoint (the no-parallax-point of the lens), you can get exactly the same. Only the focus plane (and hence the DoF) is tilted.

See http://wiki.panotools.org/Perspective_correction for details.
