It deletes the 30% oldest ones (checks the date of last modification), 
see:

Right, it appears that the page HTML was cached before the thumbnail was 
created.

Excellent !!!!  I didn't think about bots but indeed most bots are text 
browsers, and some will ignore embedded pictures (or will come to get 
them at a later point).

If PageA has a pagelist that extracts content from PageB, when you 
modify PageB, is PageA automatically updated (do you see in PageA what 
you expect to see, with the new content from PageB)? If yes, caching is 
probably done correctly.
