Just to be clear: As far as I remember, nothing happens on catalog 
creation. Stuff happens on *index* creation. When you add an index to a 
catalog that is already aware of objects, it will make sure that the 
newly added catalog is up to date by forcing an indexing procedure. And 
yes, this will wake up all the objects in your catalog (which isn't a 
recursive process, nor does it mean "touch"ing in the sense of 
modification).

Unfortuantely, there isn't a way to prevent the execution of a selected 
event subscriber (which is probably what you want; you don't want to 
prevent the event as a whole).
