Sorry if I'm being stupid, but I don't see that your example supports
your conclusion. Rather the opposite, ISTM.
If the result of the first extract was cached and used in the second,
both log messages would print out.
That the first log message was printed but not the second shows that
the first extract yielded '1' while the second yielded '0', as
expected. Whether <string3> is '0' or '1' is irrelevant since the
extract succeeds in both cases, so it is ignored.
