Unicorns are mythical creatures that always behave rationally. :) This sounds like a bug in your application rather than unicorn. Are you using :memory_store as your Rails.cache? That would fit the symptoms you're describing, since the cache would not be shared across processes.
If so, the solution is to use a shared cache store, like memcache (or the file system cache while you're on a single server).
