Been working with shad, who created the Baka F4SE plugins, and he created a tool to help us research this issue.
The attached F4SE plugin will generate text versions of save files whenever you load them or save them. The idea is you load up a save from before a long save occurred, and we can use text comparison tools to compare the long save text file to the one before it. You can find the text files in your saves folder, they will have the same name as the save file but with the .txt extension appended.
The tricky part is that writing these files takes a while so it can actually make it seem like you're getting a long save every time. So you'll probably need to get used to the extra few seconds this tool adds and account for that when making the call of whether your latest save was a long save or not.
I'm also not entirely sure what we're looking for in the text files, but I'm hoping some of you strong troubleshooters and fellow techies can help find some patterns using this tool!
