Description

**Describe the bug**
The referenceResolver does occasionally resolve references to `null`.

The problem is, that the code, when resolving does first check which elements are already in the cache. It then fetches the "not yet in the cache" items and puts them there. This operation drops LRU items. Code still thinks that all items are in the cache and retrieves the references from the cache unchecked. Leading to `null`.

The symptom can be observed in SUPPORT-33245
