GMap sometimes not showing up on a custom front page call

This thread may be related to both our binary log clogging by cache menu and the problem at hand here, the map not displaying some of the time:

Here's what's happening:

Drupal's filter system caches the "no cache" state of the filter! GMap's filter hook returns either TRUE or FALSE as the "no cache" state depending on the gmap method, and whatever it was at when the system integrates the filter is what it's stuck with.

Allegedly Google's flood control for their maps API is far higher than can be set off in development, even refreshing and reloading all the time, but we should open a dialogue with them if only for production.
