Comment (by SimonKing):

 Yes, it even works (i.e. reproduces the error) interactively, provided one
 runs "sage -gdb"!
 {{{
 sage: @cached_function
 ....: def oddprime_factors(n):
 ....:     l = [p for p,e in factor(n) if p != 2]
 ....:     return len(l)
 ....:
 sage: oddprime_factors.precompute(range(1,100), 4)

 sage: oddprime_factors.precompute(range(1,100))

 sage: len(oddprime_factors.cache)
 0
 }}}
 Interestingly, using `range(1,99)` (which made the problem vanish in the
 doctest) does not work interactively.
