I'm open to ideas.  The problem is, killing buffers is so common in
Emacs (including the temporary buffers you never even suspect are
being used under the hood) that if you put a breakpoint there, even
with some sophisticated condition that I don't yet know how to
formulate, I'm afraid that will slow down Emacs so much you will be
unable to work.

But maybe my fears are exaggerated.  If you set a breakpoint on
Fkill_buffer with commands that say just

  silent
  continue
  end

does Emacs run reasonably fast for you to be able to work in such a
session?
