Does this happen on signing only, i.e. if you have entered your
passphrase to sign a mail, and on subsequent signings the cache turns
out not to work, or is decryption envolved too?

The first case, passphrase caching for subsequent signings, works for
me.

If it is passphrase caching for (mainly) decryption, that does not
work, did you verify this on the same message?

There still is the behaviour described in Message

  "pgg-decrypt-region: wrong key-ID displayed"
  <87he9ww7pt.fsf@iridium.renata.de>, news.gnus.org:gnus.gnus-bug

that has a side-effect on decrypting mails, which have the sender's
key ID -- not the receipient's -- in the first PGP packet: In this
case pgg-decrypt-region will ask the passphrase cache (that already
contains the passphrase with my secret key ID) for the wrong (the
sender's) key ID.
