I agree that BRW_NEW_VERTICES needs to be changed when num_instances 
changes.  However, it's already unconditionally flagged above:

    brw->vb.min_index = min_index;
    brw->vb.max_index = max_index;
    brw->state.dirty.brw |= BRW_NEW_VERTICES;

So I don't think you'll be able to observe any problems.  That said, I 
approve of this change anyway, because it's self-documentating and 
guards against potential problems.
