Yes thank you, we discovered that a moment after we posted the message ;-)

Why do you say that ? I mean can't the problem be on the backend side ? We
suspect some kind of race condition because we can only (deterministically)
reproduce the problem with slurm which spawns many processes in the same
second.
Perhaps, maybe the backend is signalling to the frontend too soon to
check the cache again after the inital update.
But I'm not sure how to help you without a local reproducer :-/
