Comment:

 A possible solution is a helper function `update_post_modified_date` that
 would update the modified date on add, update and delete.  Sample use:

 {{{
 add_action( 'updated_postmeta', 'test_update_post_date', 10, 4 );
 add_action( 'deleted_post_meta', 'test_update_post_date', 10, 4 );
 add_action( 'added_post_meta', 'test_update_post_date', 10, 4 );

 function test_update_post_date( $meta_id, $post_id, $meta_key, $meta_value
 ) {
         update_post_modified_date( $post_id );
 }
 }}}

 I'm not a great fan of the the lack of a common action for updating (also,
 `deleted_post_meta` includes $meta_ids instead of $meta_id), but it could
 work.
