Hmmm.  Did that race condition with writing cache files get fixed? 
Which version are you running?  Are you writing to NFS?

It attempts to load from the original if a cache file is not found, but 
the code currently assumes that cache files will always be good and that 
a failure in them indicates that something really bad is wrong.  You 
could change that pretty easilly, but the problem you're experiencing is 
definitely not normal behavior.
