This part doesn't make sense to me; maybe you can provide more info
here.

An implicit rule ALWAYS has a recipe, so if a target matches an implicit
rule, and does not have a recipe of its own, that recipe will ALWAYS be
run.

So, I don't understand the situation you're trying to describe.  Having
a target with no recipe will absolutely not keep targets from being
created by implicit rules.
