Yes, I tend to agree. Let's not apply that part of the patch for now.
(The quoting fixes are fine.)
If you want to recommend something, I suppose you could recommend
several calls to AC_CACHE_CHECK, one for each variable; the first
(slow) one sets the "main" cache variable and the others (which are
fast) key off its value.
