   This leaves the problem of the lookahead token, which

   "Does this production have a definite set of terminators,
   (no lookahead) or does it rely on bumping 
   into something unrecognizable (lookahead)"?

I believe that in the grammar.output file you can pretty easy
see, which rules require a lookahead token. A state with two
reduce rules or one shift and one reduce rules obviously needs a
lookahead token. You would have to check that those reductions
that change the lexer are done in a state with precisely one
reduction. Of course you would have to do that every time you
change the grammar...
