You have your model loaded, you go into a paint app pick one of the loaded textures, add a tatooo, and overwrite the texture that you have loaded on the model in your viewport in Poser Right? What must happen that it will load this texture? actually the same thing as if you would either load a new one, comparable with loading a material MT file to your model. But you never gave this command to poser by replacing the texture that is already loaded in the viewport. The model file has to be fully reloaded as it can't know witch of the textures has been overwritten. It is also a really unusual way to overwrite a texture while it is loaded in the 3D app this could cause really bad side effects. It is comparable to a program update, Why do you think that it will ask you to restart the program after files have been overwritten to take effect?  

Sure, but when you click Reload Textures you are telling Poser that it needs to reload. It doesn't make sense for it to realize those changes automatically, but when you manually tell it to reload the images, it should reload the images.

When I make a model, personally would not start to overwrite active stuff, sometimes it is essential that poser remains stable for some day's and better not having a crash or a shutdown. The better I work the way the program understands it best the less I risk for a crash or errors. I also learned the hard way trying shortcuts ( Do it quickly ) that caused to restart a skinning. Especially if you do not notice that an error occurred. 

" The way this problem is described is as if you would not even need to go into the material room anymore ( Why should you ) if you start to overwrite the texture externally and want to see the changes in real time, you might as well just stay in the pose room and see how your loaded model is affected by just hitting the Reload button. But really not the common way! "

if it is combined with changing slider settings of the materials then you might as well load a texture with a new name and use the material room the way it is supposed to be used.
