Did you actually eject or dismount the USB device (via the umount or
eject commands or desktop options) or did you simply unplug it? If you
unmounted or ejected it, I'd imagine you'd be asked for the passphrase
the next time you mounted it. If it doesn't ask, then yeah, we have an
issue--nothing having to do with that device should be cached.
If all you did was unplug it, then the filesystem was never closed, the
system never saw it as unmounted and the current mount is still valid.
If that is the case, you're lucky it wasn't corrupted (you must have
waited long enough between write operations for changes to be flushed
to the device).

did you
check if the gnome key ring program is keeping the password so
that it will not prompt you. Generally, when you put the password, there
is a check on save the password.
This is my experience encfs
