This intermittent problem has been around much longer than tugela has existed, hasn't it? Probably the same issue under memcached.
It seems to be more frequent now. The key expires after 24 hours (I thought it was a week, did someone change it?), and you'd expect to see the message cache stop working for a few seconds each time it expires. I always assumed it was just this problem. But we've had a sudden increase in the number of reports, and the problem persists for longer than a few seconds. Not exactly conclusive, it would be nice to have a theory about why this happens.
I can confirm an increase in incidence in the last 3~4 days. This is quite obvious in zh-min-nan:, whose interface has periodically reverted to the default English (possibly causing problems for editors less familiar with that language).
