Is there heuristic or simple guidance on when to Cleanup before Generating Programming file?
ie in the past I generally do not, except at major waypoints.
this morning had an issue editing value of variable,
ISE spotted edit, generated 'new' .bit file,
but in actuality the outcome was not as expected,
rather as before edit.
After Cleanup same edit produced expected outcome.

In Project there is event a "Force hierarchy reparse" menu that will force the tool to reparse all HDL files.
I don't have general guidance on when to cleanup before re-build, but what i do is only to cleanup when i don't get the expected result ... just as you did ...
