The problem is the animation cache, not the image cache, I think.  And I
see that I forgot to make clear-image-cache clear the animation cache,
which it should.

And also -- the animation cache should be pruned regularly, but it's not
only pruned when doing animated images.  I think it should also be
pruned from...  gc?  Or is there a different place it'd make sense to
prune that cache from?

Finally, image-cache-size should also report the animation cache size, I
think.
