I think I've run into this issue myself … Xcode does recognize when a file's been modified externally, but I think it only checks when you switch back to Xcode from another app. This makes sense if you were editing the file in another app, but if the file was modified by a tool invoked from Xcode itself, it won't notice.
IIRC, you can work around this by switching to another app and then back to Xcode. Pressing Command-Tab twice will do this, for example.
