Not to be picky, but Mail’s accounts pane actually works the way he
describes. If I select an account, uncheck “Include when
automatically checking for new mail” and then select a different
account, it asks me if I want to save the changes before updating
the detail view with the contents of the newly-selected account.
So there is precedent, although it is a bit annoying.

Yeah, maybe that's not the best example. In fact just trying it now it
doesn't always even work - changing a minor setting such as time to
leave mail on server, it causes the save changes sheet to show, then
hitting Cancel doesn't revert the setting!
On the other hand buttons in a preferences panel are not quite the
same thing as a selection in a table - the user is unlikely to expect
(or forgive) a UI that interrupts them constantly on a mere selection
change.
