It can't catch all BLP problems as you've so wonderfully illustrated. But it can show us a worthwhile subset, don't you reckon?
That would be one way forward; we now have abuse filters which detect and revert the more gross edits, but as far as I know, there is no feasible way of monitoring articles within a category wholesale, so we are no further forward.

This won't catch edits which remove the category, and it won't catch the 5-10% of BLPs which aren't in the category to start with, but it's otherwise mostly what you want, I think.
