Closing this due to lack of CLA, and a nit regarding the nit :) I think "any of" is singular in this context. Please feel free to re-open and sign the CLA if you get time to link to a grammar site that explains why it's incorrect.

The method is invoked to calculate the value whenever any of the argument values changes.
The focal point here isn't "any of", it's "values". With a plural "values", "changes" could only be used in an observation regarding multiple changes, whereas "any" is singular.
The correct way to phrase this would be: The method is invoked to calculate the value whenever any of the argument values change. Or in the case of multiple occurrences: The method is invoked to calculate the value for each of the argument values changes.
TL;DR: A value changes, values change.
The subject of the clause "any of the argument values changes" is the noun phrase "any of the argument values". Can you link to a source that explains why that phrase is plural?
