And what would you do if the object consists of a complex CSG with many 
textures?


This sounds similar to the reset_children warp, maybe there could be a 
flag in the transform {...} block, like this:

object {MyObject
    transform {
        transform_textures off
        translate ...
    }
}

This would allow you to transform the object and the texture 
separately(by using multiple transform {...} blocks), maybe with the 
addition of a transform_object flag.
