Using the current source code (updated 4 days ago) I saw the following:

sudo ./installinstallmacos.py

Is a newer version supposed to invalidate the cache? Or is it recommended practice to 'ignore' the cached files?

Just remove the content directory and let the script download fresh copies of the files.
