The site transient had no expiry date, which meant that if no file changes were detecetd by scandir($mudir) then the old key would continue to be used.
I have set this to have an expiry of 1 day so that if this does happen eventually new code will be loaded, but with a 1 day expiry the performance impact is minimal.
An example of this happening is that if a file already exists in mu-plugins but doesn't have the appropriate plugin name comment then the file is included in the scandir results, but not loaded by WP because of the missing comment. A later change to add the comment to the file does not prompt the loader to load the file.
Backout Plan
Revert of this commit will restore previous behaviour without impact.
