Was this quite a while ago? Greg pointed out bug 44570 [1] when I started asking questions about cleaning up old branches. It looks to me like the interesting behavior of cache TTL reset when the backing article hasn't been edited in the 31 day window should be fixed in production since 2013-04-24. This is exactly the sort of gotcha I was hoping would be surfaced by asking around though so please correct me if there is still a way that the static assets can be needed for more than the "use plus 31 days" window.
