Exactly, worklists are cached in a 300 seconds cache in
ERP5Type/patches/DCWorkflow.py

http://svn.erp5.org/?rev=11483&view=rev was an attempt to make this
cache duration flexible by allowing to specify the cache factory to use
for each worklist, but this patch was later reverted because the whole
top-bar (Favorites + Modules) is cached in page templates again, so
invalidating the cache for your worklist would have no effect.

For now, there's no other way than clearing the default cache manually
when running your test cases, or to add some "get a coffee" steps ;)
