Some do, yes. To make them consistent and correct.

PTBs are only sent when a packet arrives at a router and the router decides to 
forward that packet to a link whose link MTU is too small.

If the link MTU changes, there would never be an ICMP PTB *until* a new packet 
is sent.

Go ahead - change the MTU of any interface (tunnel or not) of any router and 
tell me if you see a PTB being sent *ANYWHERE*.

Nothing happens until the next packet goes to that interface. I.e., PTBs are 
always in response to an attempt to send a packet - not merely to an interface 
change.
