the same holds for the grey-checkered background pattern indicating
not yet rendered blocks. It's not likely that a real scene will match
it exactly and if it pathetically does then it's not very critical.
So a rather non-invasive method of marking blocks might be to use the
exact same pattern that is already there but with different colors, e.g.
black-red instead of gray-white.

And here I was just thinking it should be a plain box with an x marked
through it... drawn sort of like the bounding boxes :)

The block currently being rendered doesn't show anything until the
render is complete for that block.

Since the box is apparently empty until the whole box is calculated, it
would seem to be a perfectly fine solution. (I had forgotten how it looked,
but I guess I was remembering seeing entire blocks being updated instead of
individual pixels of a particular block.)

If it's a subtle border around the block being rendered, why is it so
important to be off by default?

If it's subtle I suppose. I wasn't liking the idea of flashing or marching
borders.
