Not your intention of course, but very much the intention of Apple to
prevent that.
But you're already exploring other means so it looks like you're set:

If you want to share your code here I'll bet we can pin down which part
triggers the "dirty" flag.
Since you've already scripted your changes, having them run in a plugin
on startup rather than attempting to alter the bundle contents will make
everything work well, once we take care of that save prompt.
But I know it's doable: my devolution plugin makes a lot of changes to
revMenubar on startup, and I've not seen a save prompt yet. I'll bet we
can figure out how to tailor your script to do the same.
