My understanding is if old software operates on a new image (modifying the cfg_cache file), it will delete the new information?
Is that right?

Yes, but the new information is completely optional and should not impact the operation of the client in any visible way.

*After* the 2009.06 release, I'll be working on upgrading the client's cfg_cache file format to something that is more expressive and resistant to this sort of change. The new format will be completely incompatible with older clients, although the newer client will still be able to read the older format.
