What happens during this refresh?

I looked at the code and I don't think it should happen at all. ;)
It might have something to do with the fact that you recreate all 
indexes, metadata and vocabularies in your xml. To add some columns, you 
only need to have those columns in your xml file.

Here is an example of a catalog.xml that adds an index:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<object name="portal_catalog" meta_type="CMF Catalog">
  <index name="MainAttendee" meta_type="FieldIndex">
   <indexed_attr value="getMainAttendeeId"/>
  </index>
</object>
