It happens in the background though, and Java does the same...

I'd like to know about such cases. As far as I know, annotations are
never removed.

You'd have all these problems even if you manually generated though.

It seems a bit questionable. Perhaps there are bugs that are
problematic, but it's rare to see someone say they don't want JDT's
incremental compiler helping them, so have to wonder why this is
different and would rather address those specific issues.

Yes, but then I can control it. When I edit the model, I don't care.
But before I check in my changes, I want to be sure my workspace is
warning free. It is a matter of seconds ti fix this with quick-fixes.
But when I don't change the model, but simply check out some
version form git/svn, I don't want my workspace to change.

As I mentioned in that bug, merging doesn't look into method bodies and
initializers so if you want to change those, you have to mark them
@generate not.

Given you're checking in generated source, shouldn't you also check that
the model is properly generated?

It will only change if you've checked in generated source that when
regenerated changes; you should avoid doing that.
