Cue my very first response:

  If we just do that, pressing 'g' will only show the buffers that
  belonged to the project when project-list-buffers was called. And not
  necessarily the *current* list of project buffers.

Though I guess there might be ways to avoid this, like creating a cache 
which will be invalidated in post-command-hook, something like that.
