You are right. Gdal_rasterize does not care about statistics and gdalinfo -stats does not recompute statistics if they are already stored into file.
It is possible to remove the old statistics by running gdal_edit.py with -unsetstats option http://www.gdal.org/gdal_edit.html
Situation is not optimal because normal GDAL user can't know to be aware of possibly wrong statistics, and it odd that statistics can be created with one tool but for updating the statistics another tool must be used first for wiping the old statistics.
I am still closing the ticket as wontfix because I think that updating the statistics does not especially belong for gdal_rasterize.
BTW the attached image test.tif must be some wrong image, it is not all zeros for all the bands.
