Right, and it's not just a new patch release that will cause problems with auto updates turned on. I think Steam might run a periodic maintenance check to make sure files aren't corrupted. If a mod messes with the core game files enough, Steam will think it's corrupted and re-download the current version even if a new patch isn't out yet. So just turn off auto updates for that one game. When you know a new patch is out, remove the mods and turn auto update back on temporarily, just until you get that new patch. At least I think that's how it works.
