Will be interesting to see what the problem is here. From what I have seen in real life my top guesses are. Some dependency on static variables in code. Reversed proxy with incorrect cache rules that ignores headers or some parameter.

How do you envision the static variables thing? I've seen the cache thing myself in real life but not the other.

These can act like a cache across all instances. For exactly this reason I use them only as final (constant) variables and very, very rarely mutable.
