PipeLine got TypeError: expected string or buffer

@cyberdelia - We have made conversation regarding gzip compression. https://github.com/cyberdelia/django-pipeline/issues/312

We have update our django to 1.6.1. With gzip I am now using PipelineCachedStorage too. But Now we are facing some critical error.

This is my configuration now -

class GZipPipelineStorage(GZIPMixin, PipelineCachedStorage):

    def post_process(self, paths, dry_run=False, **options):
        for name, hashed_name, processed in super(GZipPipelineStorage, self).post_process(paths, dry_run, **options):
            if isinstance(processed, ValueError) and name not in settings.ALL_SOURCE_FILENAMES:
                continue

            yield name, hashed_name, processed

The reason to overridden post_process function is - ignore errors raised on post-processing phase when files are missing. Though there is a conversation regarding this, but I think they didn't solved it - https://github.com/jezdez/django-staticfiles/pull/17

But at some point while post_process is running, I am getting following error -

TypeError: expected string or buffer

I believe this is the code https://github.com/cyberdelia/django-pipeline/blob/master/pipeline/storage.py#L77 which might be the cause for the error.

_cache[pat].match(name) here I am getting name as None.
