Yeah, normal edits cause recursive update, null edits only update the links for the edited page. There are minor internal differences between a null edit and a purge with forced links update (e.g. title cache gets reset), none of that should be user-visible. IMO it makes more sense to use purges by default (you might need to fall back to null edits for old wikis or ones where the write API has been disabled).
Wikisource is needing to touch 000000s of files across multiple languages.
That should probably have its own bug report... extensions are expected to work correctly without constant bot maintenance.
