Static cache filled for pages that are not in CachedURLArray

Using eZ Publish 3.7.3.

We've set up the eZ Publish forum and with static caching people would see the 'need to logon' message even if they're logged in. So we removed /forums* from CachedURLArray in the override settings (there are no _siteaccess_ settings for the static cache because that doesn't seem to work anyway).

The problem is that eZ Publish still generates /forums pages in the static cache.

[CacheSettings]
HostName=...removed...
CachedURLArray[]
CachedURLArray[]=/
CachedURLArray[]=/nieuws*
CachedURLArray[]=/multimedia*
AlwaysUpdateArray[]
CachedSiteAccesses[]
CachedSiteAccesses[]=nl
CachedSiteAccesses[]=en
MaxCacheDepth=5

I worked around this by adding a mod_rewrite rule that ignores /forums in the static cache so functionally it works now. However I would like to prevent the cache to be filled for forum pages because it slows down posting.

Looking at the sources and some debugging output, it seems that eZContentCacheManager::clearObjectViewCache is correctly called to invalidate object cache entries. This in turn calls eZStaticCache::generateNodeListCache but the latter doesn't check against CachedURLArray before writing to the static cache.

Is this a bug or some configuration error? Any hints?
