Comment:

 Subscribe to Comments has been triggering this bug too.  I finally nailed
 down the issue.

 {{{add_option()}}} tries to erase the "notoptions" cache entry for the
 option too early... that is, it performs it before a {{{get_option()}}}
 call.  The {{{get_option()}}} call marks (or re-marks) the option as
 "notoptions" (caches its non-existence).  So now when you call
 {{{update_option()}}}, it thinks the option doesn't exist, so it adds a
 new one.  Patches coming.
