After debugging a query for a while, I figured out that db:replace isn’t changing the modification date of an XML resource, when the content hasn’t changed. The case is like this:
db:replace(‘db’, ‘abc.xml’, doc(‘file:/tmp/abc.xml’))
Is that normal, or do I have an option set that results in that behavior? ADDCACHE is false.

Exactly: Nothing will be replaced in BaseX if your source and target XML node is identical (this holds true for both documents as well as any other node in a document).
Please note that XML documents have no individual timestamps in BaseX. Instead the timestamp of the database will be changed if nodes are changed.
