Hi Phil, This was discussed by the team at the time. There is no special handling for the changing of images currently referenced by the cache. I spoke to one of the engineers and he suggested unsetting the reference to the image as the cache will release images that no longer have a reference. Reseting the filename will cause the image the be recached in it's new form.
