This means that if a memcg is restarted with the very same workload - a very common case, the objects already cached won't be billed to the new memcg. This is mostly undesirable since a container can exploit this by restarting itself every time it reaches its limit, and then coming up again with a fresh new limit. Since now we have targeted reclaim, I sustain that we should assume that a memcg that is destroyed should be flushed away. It makes perfect sense if we assume that a memcg that goes away most likely indicates an isolated workload that is terminated.
