As a workaround for the skipping of unmodified files: does setting

    org-publish-use-timestamps-flag

to nil temporarily do the deed? I'm not sure what that will do to
the timestamps: they will probably be completely out of sync afterwards;
but that's exactly what Matt's method does (for the current project
only), so it could not be *too* bad !-)

You can also try to blow away (or move aside) the time stamps directory
(~/.org-timestamps by default, or the value of
org-publish-timestamp-directory) and try publishing again.

HTH,
