I've made a non-exhaustive list of things that can potentially write to
buffer objects and you should definitely consider.  You may have to
throw away the gather pool if a buffer currently bound as UBO is
modified using:

 - Usual buffer upload commands (glBufferSubData and friends).
 - Buffer object mapping (persistent and coherent mappings are likely
   to require special care).
 - Meta paths that render into a buffer object bound as PBO
   (glReadPixels, glGetTexImage).
 - Shader image stores and atomics.
 - Shader storage buffer objects.
 - Shader atomic counters.
 - Transform feedback.
 - Query objects.

The gl_buffer_object::UsageHistory field may be useful for some of these
to find out whether you need to invalidate and re-gather your constant
cache -- E.g. glReadPixels, glGetTexImage and glBufferSubData could just
check if the target BO has USAGE_UNIFORM_BUFFER set among its usage
history flags and in that case invalidate the gather constant cache.
That would be simple but most likely overly pessimistic because the
UsageHistory bitset won't tell you whether the buffer is still bound as
UBO -- If it's not you wouldn't necessarily need to throw away the
contents of the gather constant cache.

To handle images, SSBOs and persistent non-coherent maps you could
probably just invalidate the whole gather pool whenever glMemoryBarrier
is called with UNIFORM_BARRIER_BIT or CLIENT_MAPPED_BUFFER_BARRIER_BIT
set.

The rest may be more difficult, and in some cases (e.g. while a buffer
bound as UBO is persistently *and* coherently mapped) you may have to
re-gather all constants prior to every draw call -- I'd expect that to
be even more expensive than using plain pull constants though, so we
might be better off disabling UBO gather in such cases even if that
means doing state-dependent recompiles.
