Comment (by mattkeys):

 my situation was a function in a 3rd party plugin which would return early
 if cached data was found. I wanted to always return false from the cache
 if the user had admin capabilities.

 The need for this was that the function in question contains a number of
 apply_filters() which never get called if the cache is found and returned.

 Having had a full nights sleep on this issue now, it seems the better
 solution is to contact that plugin author and request that their code is
 refactored to always fire the filters, even on cached results. And not try
 to tackle this issue with a filter on wp_cache_get like I outlined in this
 ticket; unless someone else has a use-case that is valid.
