Yes, I understand. I am able to get through the tests, but my concern is 
that a post load doit needs to be executed to repair these things. I 
will add the post load doit to the Metacello configuration, but I am 
reluctant to us allInstances.

I think making the cache more robust in the presence of stale entries is 
a good idea ... if I understand things correctly, the stale entries can 
be identified, so it makes sense to do a direct lookup if a stale cache 
entry is encountered and then throw the error ...
