The explanation seems to be that some systems (including RDM's buildbot)
have slightly bizarre mtime behaviour:

As you see, the mtime of the directory is set a full one second before
the date at which its contents are modified.
I guess the only safe solution is to explicitly flush the internal cache
when we do any modifications.
