I found a couple more, in agent file writing, and have pushed a commit
fixing that. So far as I can tell this now works as intended. I've run
side-by-side comparisons of master and this feature branch, messing with
the cache and the agent, and feel fairly confident that behavior is the
same in terms of header fetching, and files written to disk. I think I'd
feel okay merging this, but would also be happy to let it mellow longer.
