I think we should either do nothing and leave it as it is, or try to
provide the functionality that Britton is looking for (the behavior in
my description).

The questions are, is this behavior strictly better and we should drop
the old behavior and if so, will that have backward-compat issues in
the real world?  Are there situations where people are relying on OO
prereqs being rebuilt even if their target is up to date?  It seems not
unlikely to me that someone would be using this behavior for something
and be surprised by this change, even if I can't think of a use-case
off the top of my head.

Or, alternatively, is the new behavior useful enough that we should try
to support both behaviors?  If so we need to think up some syntax for
that.
