Put some print statements and you'll see that the cache doesn't work.
Print the id of the object form either side of
form = expand_derivatives(form)
in preprocess.py. This returns a new object, so the form that is passed
into preprocess.py as a function argument does not get data attached.
This leads to the issue that I sketched
