The status cache can't work reliably with SUBST drives! The cache works
by monitoring the filesystem for changes. Every change fires an event
which the cache catches and acts accordingly. But if you have a SUBST
drive, then even though you have two (or more) paths that point to the
very same location on the filesystem, only one event is fired. Which
means you will *always* get unpredictable result.

For SUBST'ed drives, you have to deactivate the cache and use the
"Shell" type of overlays.
