Comment:

 Re-closing as now I see that this thought process was already laid out
 above, initially by @helen (and changed in [33054]), and I just missed it.
 This probably does belong in the handbook somewhere if anyone wants to
 take a swing. :-)

 A few more thoughts on when to avoid dynamic hook names:
  * When the static part of the dynamic hooks is so generically named that
 it can conflict with other dynamic (or static) hooks. This is a huge
 problem with some older hooks, but we're more wordy these days. (Not a
 major problem on this one.)
  * As @helen said, it can be harder to find the hook, and also harder to
 take an `add_filter()` call in code you're reading and understand exactly
 what the actual filter is. (This could be a cool reverse-engineering tool
 to write...)
