All those tests were done with your patch applied, so the cache was
generated and re-read using the pached version.

If the cache format is changed, this would be a good candidate for the

need to bump the cache format version - see branches multitag (allow
several tags per patchset) and semicolon (allow semicolons in
filenames).
