AFAIK the catalog handler is the only handler that has that problem. 
Right know the policy is:

- clear all modified indexes to make sure they don't become inconsistent

- don't try to do any reindexing to avoid long running processes on big 
sites

If your site contains content you have to reindex manually.


Of course this could be improved.
