So may I assume that the silence means agreement?
If there's no objections coming within about a week, then I'm going to
make a patch with an overridden JComponent.invalidate() method.

I guess you mean an overridden JComponent.invalidate() here, since
revalidate() calls this method to invalidate the component hierarchy.
As we understand from the previous discussions, the root problem is
indeed the AWT's invalidate() method that goes too far doing its job.
Since Swing introduces the concept of "validate root", it seems really
natural to me to override the JComponent.invalidate() method
accordingly. At least I can't imagine a problem caused by choosing this
way.
What do Swing people think about that?
