Yes, that does fix it. We really should consistently call the file 
either stat cache or hash cache. (Internally and externally). We 
switched names because it is caches both the hash and stat, but 
statcache already exists in the python standard library.

I saw the same thing in one of my test upgrades. If upgrade might mess 
up the hash cache, I would say just delete it.
It is only an optimization anyway (removing it doesn't change 
correctness, just makes it longer to do a "bzr status").
