Nonsense. There is no possible way a null edit should be able to
activate any of those, because those strings cannot exist in a saved
page (barring bugs) unless escaped somehow, in which case a null edit
still won't trigger them.
{{subst:NonExistingPage}} doesn't transform on
save.
If [[NonExistingPage]] is then created, and a null edit is done to the
original page, the original page will transform even though no changes
have been made (I've just tested this: [[w:en:User:ais523/Sandbox]]).
So this sort of behaviour happens already.
