I don't think it really gets you that far. Because you're suggesting to do it at the parse stage, you suddenly have issues with prepared statements. Some client libraries, and a lot more frameworks, automatically use prepared statements when they see the same query text multiple times. And this'll not improve anything on that. ISTM, if you want to increase consistency in this area, you've to go further. E.g. processing invalidations in StartTransactionCommand() in all states, which'd give you a lot more consistency.
