Strange. I had the very same problem, but I identified the
browser's internal caching heuristics as the problem. If there are
no explicit caching headers in the response, the browser guesses.
Sending e.g. "Expires: ..." so that the page expires immediately
solved the problem.

(By the way, I didn't send those headers eventually. The browser's
heuristics make the site faster in other cases, and users switch
language only seldomly.)

Tschö,
Torsten.
