Ah, thanks. There is a slight gotcha here, though.

I added :cache yes to the source headers and exported again, but nothing
changed; all the images were generated again. Also, no SHA1 hash was
added to the +results header.

After some fruitless fiddling I was about to write to the list again and
moan, when I did a slightly random C-c C-c in the begin_src line and,
hey presto, the hash was added to the results header. I then did this
for all the images and found that the image were no longer regenerated
on export, as advertised.

Perhaps the documentation of :cache could be extended to mention the
necessity of evaluating the source block before exporting.
