Comment (by SimonKing):

 Look at the following snippet from `Parent.coerce_map_from(self,S)`:
 {{{
 #!python
         if S == self:
             # non-unique parents
             if unique_parent_warnings:
                 print "Warning: non-unique parents %s"%(type(S))
             return self._generic_convert_map(S)
 }}}
 `self._generic_convert_map(S)` does not do caching.

 Hence, the general problem is: A coercion from self to self will never be
 cached.
