Depends on how the change is done. If it uses only db.cache then I don't think it will. Touching the list of user categories can do the check.

The other thing I think of is editing the category itself - I added and removed several items from another column that has items in @On Kobo, which meant I had to use 'manage user categories' to adjust it. It's possible I never did this before while [Send to Device] was empty.
Manage User Categories removes all items that no longer exist.

Is this a recent change? I've never really noticed it happen before, except in the last few weeks. There was the change to remove duplicate category items, but I'm not sure that would affect this.
Yes and no. Non-existent items were removed in some cases since forever. Changes in August 2022 generalized this behavior.

IMO removing user category items that no longer exist in the database is the correct behavior.
