Maybe we should make some of this into a FAQ since you are not the first
one to point this out.

ELinks' caching behaviour is not very conforming. Historically ELinks
has used a very agressive caching policy, once it even cached redirect by
default. This doesn't mean that we don't want to fix it at some point
but there are several things to be aware of such as usability.

Over a year ago, I tried to work on it and it quickly got very annoying
for many pages to have it constantly reloading, partly because the
incremental rendering often will cause the current link to change if you
go back in history etc.

So that was my take on the status of ELinks' caching behaviour, it
doesn't help you very much and I am sorry about that. There is always
the link-follow-reload action which might help you to some degree.
