Perhaps because of what this bit of the original message describes:

which was that it was turned on for nightly users but not for tests,
which seems to me to be not a very good practice.

Because TP5's memory measurements are meagre and usually fail to
detect even obvious regressions. And this leak only occurred in
unusual circumstances; AWSY is much better than TP5 at detecting
regressions (though still far from perfect) and it missed this case
too.

Why didn't TP5 report a regression in memory usage?

We have a number of people who have been using cache2 for their daily

Yes, that's exactly right.  The orange/perf bugs are not major bugs, but 
they're enough to keep us from doing a full landing.  But meanwhile a 
wider test audience is likely to shake out bugs that don't emerge from 
our automated test coverage.  We found a few bugs that way in our last 
trial run.  It'd be good to be able to work on those in parallel.

We'll be keeping an eye on telemetry measures like cache hit rate and 
response time.  The other feedback channel is to alert engineers and 
other nightly users that this is happening so we're more likely to get 
bugs filed.

This part doesn't make much sense to me. What is the goal of getting nightly
feedback if we know that there are unresolved test failures and performance
issues? Do we think that enabling it on nightly will help fix the known
issues?

What kind of feedback are you hoping to get from nightly? Do we have the
telemetry or feedback channels in place to measure what you need to measure?
