Dale, I ran into this issue as well and was thinking of implementing "onclick" attributes for each of the optionstransferselect buttons so that I could capture when one of the lists changes. This would be similar to what you're doing, accept that it would require every button's onlick event to call the same method. I believe there is a use to being able to attach an event to each button for the use you and I desire or for something altogether different. I am all for a master "onchange" event attribute like you mention. I don't see that as being mutually exclusive to adding onlick attributes for each button. Basically, both things should be implemented in my mind.
That said, I am all for you opening a JIRA ticket and posting some patches. I can get the patches committed once they've been reviewed. One point though is I believe that the implementation should not rely on DOJO or a similar library. It should be plain JavaScript if at all possible. This way the AJAX theme is not required.
