org-refile-use-cache and jumps using org-refile or org-goto

It seems, something goes a bit wrong. However it is rather confusion than anything really broken.

Maybe everybody uses helm, ivy, etc., so nobody is affected.

Usually I jump from one note to another heading with C-u C-c C-j (org-goto interface with target completion). I have not setup helm or other similar package. Completion works, maybe it is not really perfect (e.g. completion of top-level headings and deeper ones differ a bit). I have heard that C-u C-c C-w (org-refile) could work in a similar way. I did not like the latter variant due to mandatory file name in the beginning of a target.

I have tried to enable org-refile-use-cache. Now completion options depends on what method was called earlier: org-refile or org-goto. If after cache clean up (C-u C-u C-u C-c C-w) first command was C-u C-c C-j (org-goto) than there is no file name as a prefix for both commands. However file name is prepended for both C-u C-c C-j and C-u C-c C-w if at first org-refile was called.

There is one issue however. Default option option does not work if after cache clean other command is called, e.g.
- jump using C-u C-c C-j
- clean cache C-u C-u C-u C-c C-w
- try to jump or to refile [C-u] C-c C-w to default offered option
- "user-error: Invalid target location"

I have just one file in the org-agenda-files list. It is becoming larger, that is why I decided to try org-refile-use-cache. My customization is minimal (besides org-default-dir and org-agenda-files):

(org-refile-targets (quote ((org-agenda-files :maxlevel . 5))))
(org-outline-path-complete-in-steps nil)

I have tried to add (nil :maxlevel . 5) to org-refile-targets to check if options without file name will appear in addition to ones with file name for org-refile, but it has not happened. It was not clear at first that it is possible to start query with "/" and file name is added when TAB is pressed.

Is it expected that with cache enabled, command that causes cache update affects appearance of completion options to its sibling (org-refile and org-goto)?
