Since @mrocklin has made it pretty clear that dask will not automatically solve this for us any time soon, we need to brainstorm some creative ways to make this extremely common use case more friendly with out-of-core data.

That's not entirely true. I've said that delete-and-recompute is unlikely to be resolved in the near future. This is the solution proposed by @shoyer but only one possible solution. The fact that your for loop solution works well is evidence that delete-and-recompute is not necessary to solve this problem in your case. I'm actively working on this at https://github.com/dask/dask/pull/3066 (fortunately paid for by other groups).
