However, usually the only way to solves them is to delete all ppu files. In my experience, recompiling results in the same problem in such situations.

Interesting.
I didn't use the makefile to compile but created a lazarus package
using the compiler settings from the pp.lpi. 
The package compiles without error, but compiling the test program (a
simple one liner compiler.compile('');) that only sees the ppu files
gives an error (checksum changed, unit not found). 
Compiling the package a second time compiles again without error and
the test program compiles too.
