Yes, that's right.  This behavior could just as well be its own
customization option, perhaps "preview-indicate-regeneration"
(default: t), independent of the option
"preview-leave-open-previews-visible" just added; let me know if you'd
prefer that.  I'll also be happy to update the doc/texi if that's what
you intend (presumably by sending a patch on top of the current one,
to this thread?)
