I can confirm that this did not happen during silo testing, with a clean device-flash'ed image + ppa on top.
As a side note, we're adding click hooks to clean up the cache environment of webapp-container based apps, ie webapps. This is to avoid cases where the application sets cookies and gets confused, essentially locking the user in a broken situation. With those hooks, by removing the app, the package also clears cached elements, which helps getting back to a saner state, once reinstalling the app. I think the QML cache should be part of the things to clean at app uninstallation, but would like to know if a generic framework will be put in place, or whether we should just add this directory to our list for the time being.
