Well OK, but the spec says (43.46):

If the “random” check succeeds, the result is saved in a cache record,
and used to force the current and subsequent callout checks to succeed
without a connection being made, until the cache record expires.

Note "current".

Maybe this is a confusion about what it means to "succeed"?
