You are describing a different scenario than the OP.

In the OP's scenario, the file content with keywords expanded was the
same before and after the switch, yet the mtime differed. I consider
that a bug.

If the file content with keywords expanded had been different before the
switch to after to the switch, then yes, I would have expected the mtime
to differ, too.

Thanks for contributing this observation: the key question is whether
the translated content was modified, not whether the repository-normal
content was.

Cheers
