Couple of changes coming in Gerrit upstream that will make this better:
- Gerrit won't perform the rebase if it's not necessary
- Changes as a result of a rebase aren't shown in the changes list when
  comparing to an old patchset

I believe the former made it into 2.5 (need to double check). Pretty sure
the latter didn't, unfortunately.
