Details

the fix for bug 85054 (which renamed NewCache to Cache) resulted in mixing files from the old cache (moz 0.8.1 and prior) with files from the new cache. this is relatively benign, but should be dealt with (most likely at installation time).
Start a new profile. All cache files are now placed in "Cache" directory. Directory "NewCache" is not created. Woo Hoo... The "Cache" Mummy Returns!!!
If you have a mixed cache, can you see what are the results of clearing the cache via prefs?

This is benign, as Darin said. The files will get cleaned up when the cache is cleared via prefs. I think fixing this at install time would just be adding code to fix something that doesn't appear to be a problem. We have other fish to fry. Marking WONTFIX
