The fix of https://bugs.python.org/issue1218234 is a bit zealous. If the module has not been reloaded, e.g. calling a function will execute code older than what inspect.getsource returns.

And since the import statement does not touch linecache, there are many other cases where inspect.getsource and objects can be out of sync.
