Comment:

 Thanks @nicolefurlan. Reading through this conversation, this looks like a
 well described bug with initial unit tests from the first PR that was
 added, but with a second PR that only includes a fix (not the tests). The
 PR needs a refresh that includes tests and someone to review/test.

 Given that we're explicitly adding functionality in this release via
 #58964 to allow autoload values to be changed, it seems sensible to also
 make sure caches are being properly cleared to avoid returning stale
 values when calling `get_option()`, which is my understanding of this bug.

 @kkmuffme if you (or someone else) has time to update the PR we can try to
 get this in, but really needs to land before Oct 10 so it's in the final
 beta of this release. Otherwise, this can continue in a future release.
