I'm not sure that's within the scope of private browsing mode.  Private
browsing mode offers users privacy on their local machine, but does not
offer any extra privacy w/r/t external parties.  I think the warning when a
user enters private browsing mode tries to make this clear.  (
https://wiki.mozilla.org/PrivateBrowsing#Making_Sure_the_User_has_the_Correct_Mental_Model
)

However, I do think that the caching behavior is a bug, since that impacts
user privacy on the client.
