users might expect automation to work the same when using a scroll wheel to turn a knob as they would with the mouse itself moving the knob.

I agree, from the user's point of view there should be no distinction between click dragging a slider and scroll wheeling it, IMO, for my software at least. Every Mac ships with either a scroll wheel mouse or scrolling track pad.

I think there is a good way to implement gestures together with mouse wheel control: Just use the mouse pointer position to indicate a touch of the control. In other words, when the cursor hovers over the control, it is touched. When the cursor is outside of the screen space occupied by the control, it's not touched. A visual change (like a glowing lamp) could report the touch state to the user. This should be very usable and intuitive.
