This expectation was always wrong: events can be dispatched by script at any

I'm sorry, who's page cache are you talking about?
Gecko's, which initially defined the pagehide/pageshow events. ;)
Page caches are (AFAIK) not really fleshed out in any spec, and the WebKit
page cache *intends* to represent a 100% inert page. This includes the
inability to receive events.
So what happens when script calls dispatchEvent on a node that's in a
document that's in your page cache?
Can you provide a specific link to relevant threads you're thinking of? I
can't guess what search terms you intend for me to use.
Searching for "unload" and "pagehide" should probably find the right
threads. At least that's where I'd start searching, if I were searching.
