Could you possibly be a bit more friendly by explaining the issue in
more than just 4 words?  Renaming a buffer will not cause a change in
directory's timestamp, so there must be something else involved.

And my original question, which is still unanswered, was why this is a
problem.  My point is that I don't see why changing the timestamp of
some directory should be a problem for Emacs users.  I'd still would
like to understand this.
