Maybe it's not a "bug" in the true sense of the term, but it's certainly quite unexpected for people to shift+reload a page and only some of the resources are re-validated, while others lately sit in cache and never get re-requested.

To be quite blunt, web browser caching is about the USER experience, not the web developer experience.  The impact on web browser users here is an order of magnitude greater than that of web developers.

I'm not saying web developers aren't important - of course they are.  

But destroying a user-centric optimization to hack in something web developers want seems wrong to me.
