My concern is a generic one about the idea of roundtripping in general
rather than a specific concern about ICML.

You're right that changes in the text would be desirable to
reintegrate, but doing DocBook->ICML->InDesign should leverage
InDesign's InCopy functionality. This might make it easier to change
the DocBook source and do a quick InCopy update.
