Lots of little surprises... As far as I can tell, the BeOS Tracker
doesn't behave that way (changes are seen immediately), but on the
other hand its 'copyattr' seems always to copy permissions too --
even if one just asks for a specific attribute with "-n"! (Haven't
checked the Haiku one for that yet.) I've tried to go through everything
two or three times in different orders to be sure of what I'm seeing...!

Sounds right (without knowing the source -- I've yet to download any
of that myself).

I assume you mean a workaround without patching the Tracker? Do you
see any problem with reordering _TranslateRef()'s tests? I'll try to
submit a bug report in short order.
