Comment (by Denis-de-Bernardy):

 adding to the above, the workflow would be:

 on post save, cache the url in a custom field. if url is different, append
 previous value to the old urls.

 on permalink structure change, do the above for every post and page on the
 site.

 extra benefit: scanning for which post is requested can be simplified in
 many cases to something like: select from posts inner join postmeta where
 url_cache.
