No objections from my side. Looks like we could also copy the cache entry just before remove_cache_entry_at() and use that copy afterwards, but your solution is so much shorter that I would really like to use it (unless someone more cache-savvy than me has any objections).

And by the way: this is the last use of remove_cache_entry_at(), would it make sense to remove that define while at it? Only the remove_index_entry_at() function it is defined to is currently used.
