Comment (by boonebgorges):

 Thinking about this a little more. The problem with imports etc is that
 cache invalidation is being skipped, but the cache is still being accessed
 for lookups. What we ought to have is something like
 `wp_suspend_cache_access()` (bad name, but you get the idea), which would
 prevent the cache from being accessed for lookups in places like
 `term_exists()` and `get_term_by()`.
