We have observed an issue with spurious cache hits in development, that we've been unable to reproduce so far. Looking into this did however prompt an audit of the caching decorator, which reveals we potentially have an issue where a cached "None" value is mis- interpreted as "not cached" rather than "cached as None". This commit clarifies the expected behaviour with a test and a more robust cache check.
