@otto42, thanks for looking into it.

So we have our inhouse WP plugin framework in which we developed file transients to get rid of some hard caching issues. So we save certain info in our file transients and remove it every time admin make changes in the system.

While this happens to so many of our clients as well as in our local setups.
Here is my own local setup where this issue occurs.
