Another idea: If $revision is deleted/oversighted/whateverhowmadeinvisible, then find out the block ID for the dump so that only this specific block needs to be re-created in next dump run. Or, better: do not recreate the dump block, but only remove the offending revision(s) from it. Shoulda save a lot of dump preparation time, IMO.

That's already done. New dumps insert the content from the previous ones (when available, enwiki has a hard time on it).
