I thought of something like this, though I couldn't phrase it as
nicely and accurately as you did it :-)
Inside atomic-change-group, bibtex-format-entry does its job for one
BibTeX entry at a time. So typically it operates on 10 to 15 lines
of plain text (~ 300 characters), and it adds about 100 elements to
the undo list. I'd expect that these are still sufficiently small
numbers for atomic-change-group.
I checked in the new code of bibtex.el that uses atomic-change-group.
So we'll see if anybody else runs into similar problems when using
bibtex-mode.
