I haven't noticed that because I have these files in the Avocado cache.

The only way to detect such problems is blowing the cache... I certainly
don't want to do that daily. OTOH a developer starting to use the CI or
Avocado locally will hit the problem.

I was thinking about running a job with empty cache for each tags.
Maybe it is safer to do that on a weekly basis a least?
