Research direction

Start by reproducing the upload, cron-wait, and photo-cache-clearing sequence described in the issue. Trace the Maps background job that handles newly uploaded photos and compare it with the cache-clearing path; the work is done when new photos appear on the map after the next cron run without manual cache clearing.
