Ok so maybe not cache but the thing that bothers me is that once broken, it's unfixable. That says persistence to me. My update doesn't fix it phones that had the "bad" one installed ever (though it was never bad, just bugs on hero), but people who have never installed before don't have any problems with the updated version of my app.
Wouldn't you say it's possible that HTC persisted something for their version? The other thing that bothers me is that a few apps have been fixed but the devs haven't posted any info about their workarounds.
