IIRC, the logic of cppumaker is to first generate temporary .hpp and 
.hdl files and only copy them over existing ones in solver if they are 
actually different.  That way, it should easily happen that a .hdl file 
is updated while the corresponding .hpp file is not.  (For example, when 
a method is added to an interface and cppumaker is not running in 
"comprehensive type information" mode; or when a bug in cppumaker is 
fixed affecting .hdl but not .hpp output).

Each .hpp file includes the corresponding .hdl file (if any), yes.

That would be unsound (see above).

Looks like a bug, yes.  Care to share the list?
