Currently, there doesn't seem to be any API for making the property window listen to the current IPropertySource for changes. It would be nice to have an IPropertySource.addChangeListener() or something like that so the IPropertySource could fire a notification when an individual property changes or the whole underlying data needs to be refreshed. The PropertyView could register with the source and refresh the correct data.

Can't the contributor of the IPropertySheetPage already ensure that the page is up to date on their own?
But isn't IPropertySheetPage is used for custom Properties View? What if I don't want to bother with creating a custom page and use default Properties View? Eclipse itself right now has this problem. In IDE if you right-click on any file -> Properties and change Read Only to on then Properties View will not change "editable" propery unless you click on the file that was changed.
This would solve a problem I have too. I want to load the propery source descriptors and names in a runtime Job as they're retrieved via an EJB3 call. It would be perfect it the default PropertySheetPage registered as a listener to the IPropertySource as it would then be able to fetch details in a job and then notify the listeners.
