I'd suggest to tackle this bug by following steps.

1. Let's figure out when SSL_ClearSessionCache() will be called in parent process with and without networking over socket process enabled. There is a pref network.http.network_access_on_socket_process.enabled for enable/disable this. Basically, SSL_ClearSessionCache is called by nsNSSComponent::ClearSSLExternalAndInternalSessionCacheNative and it's called at these places.
2. Depends on the result of step 1, we might need to add an IPC message for clearing the session cache in socket process.
