If I have this in my DB:

db = DAL('sqlite://storage.sqlite', check_reserved=[])

db.define_table('test_table',
    Field('value'),
)

if db(db.test_table.id > 0).count() == 0:
    db.test_table.bulk_insert([{'value': 'one'}, {'value': 'two'}, 
{'value': 'three'}, {'value': 'four'}, {'value': 'five'}])

And this in my default controller

def index():
    test_table_rows = db(db.test_table.id>0).select(cache=(cache.ram, 
1800), cacheable=True)
    for record in test_table_rows:
        # Suppose I want to change the way the values are returned, here 
I'm adding a # but I could be
        # doing something useful like turning them into an URL()
        record.value = record.value + '#'
    return {'values': test_table_rows}

Then go to /default/index.json and keep refreshing. What you end up getting 
will be something like:

{"values": [{"id": 1, "value": "one##########################"}, {"id": 2, 
"value": "two##########################"}, {"id": 3, "value": 
"three##########################"}, {"id": 4, "value": 
"four##########################"}, {"id": 5, "value": 
"five##########################"}]}



I find this behavior to be quite unexpected as I would think that the cached 
rows would not be affected, what I would expect would be for the select to 
always return me exactly the same cached Rows. This makes cacheable=True very 
dangerous in a way that reminds me of using mutables as default function 
arguments.
