But what if you are using the same source (e.g. Texas Death Records) for
both John's birth and his death?  If you attach it in the death field
and it says "1878 birth of John Reeves" and you are using it as a source
for his death, isn't that odd?  Why would you not change it to "1954
death of John Reeves" if there are different vitals data in the record
and you are using it for different vitals?

Yes, if citing a Death Register (or Index thereof) entry I would use "entry for John Reeves' death, 1954" and attach the same Source/Citation to all relevant fields - name, date of birth, date of death, names of parents ... whatever is included in the database entry.
