My question is this though: Even if a prospective buyer pulled the permit history of the home prior to purchase (is this a common practice), are the details of the interior such that they could tell tile and shower pans were replaced?

My entire experience with the permit process involves the city of Upland, CA. I agree the process completely relies on the inspector, but like everything else, you gotta take the good with the bad.
As for permit history, I've never had someone go back and pull such a history, but in California I know R/E appraisers are required to check that all additions are permitted, and I know the permits themselves include all the details of any remodel work. I've just not seen anyone actually go back and pull one for review.
