Why is that a desirable goal? It slows down stuff that is never
displayed. And if that buffer has very long lines, it slows Emacs
down considerably. I see no reason whatsoever to pay this price, let
alone the garbage font-lock generates.
From my POV, this has "non-starter" written all over it.

This is a slippery slope. Next some other corner case will want to
run buffer-modification hooks in a temporary buffer, so we invent
another variable, and so on and so forth.
I'd rather introduce a macro like with-temp-buffer, but one that can
accept a buffer name, and ask such applications to please name their
temporary buffers something that doesn't begin with a space.
