can the INS refuse entry solely for having no record of your previous departure from the country?

You will be refused the entry if you, for example, as a green card holder, spend more than 1 year abroad.
There were several forums titles where similar topics were already discussed. I think it would be better if you pose your comments in earlier titles, because of more participants involved. Hera are the links:
"Do the INS knows how long Greencard holder is out of IS?"
britishexpats.com/arch/34/2004/2/169690
"Living abroad with green card"
britishexpats.com/arch/34/2004/2/129298
"GC holder outside for 2 years"
britishexpats.com/arch/34/2004/2/172972
"Big dilemma: Must I give up my green card?"

It is YOUR responsibility to let the INS know of your departure.
If you do not, the INS will presume you didn't leave or overstayed your welcome at best.
And with that train of thought, bar your re-entry.

There is no INS anymore. Can't one be refused entry for virtually any
reason the inspector says, including "I don't want to let this person
in."
