Rebuilding the agenda buffer (with 'g') is potentially expensive -- I
don't want a multi-second delay in my block view whenever Emacs thinks
that is appropriate.

I'd rather have full manual control over when things are rebuilt.  I
think your error is generated because your agenda is out of date so the
markers on the agenda view are old and possibly pointing at the wrong
stuff.  Keeping this up to date automagically will make org-mode much
slower and less usable (for me)

So here's one vote against.
