I am a little puzzled by this but that could be lack of familiarity with
elisp. As far as I can see plist-put will sometimes modify the original
plist and sometimes return a new plist. If the latter happens then I
think it works out as if we hadn't cached anything as the part passed to
the function is unmodified. That might not matter in this case (though I
find the lack of determinism disturbing).

Or is something else going on?

Best wishes
