Ok, so there are different cache files affected.

This is the problem.

That's strange, as there shouldn't be the cache file to read from
(as you've just deleted it).

Are you using open_file_cache? This might explain why there is a
lag between cache file removal and disappear of error messages.

Looks fine.

Yes, it's wrong. It's not something that should happen, cache
file header was lost somehow.

If you are indeed using open_file_cache - please disable it and
try with another resource which reports the error from scratch.
