Yes it must be executed exactly once and it must be possible to figure which refdeses changed.

Execute once would be possible with an update counter in *.pcb file or maybe store information in an intermediate file.

If information for forward annotation is stored in a file it might be possibel to use this to figure out which refdes change, otherwise I guess gschem must store the information somewhere or send it by some signalling mechanism for example dbus.
