no message on total submissions limit reached for anonymous user when page caching is on

I have a site where, when total subission limits are reached, the form is correctly hidden, but related messages are missing for anonymous users.
It is strange because, at another site, I can see the module work well. Here, however, some of the many modules used might turn on caching.
By using the cacheexclude → module and applying it for webforms, the expected message (the first, more verbose one) gets displayed. But then shouldn't I have got at least the else or any message before?
(And, sorry if I am ignorant here but, is there a rationale behind using the condition !$cached at Line 2229?)

webform.module @ line 2229:

  elseif ($total_limit_exceeded && !$cached) {
    if ($node->webform['total_submit_interval'] == -1 && $node->webform['total_submit_limit'] > 1) {
      $message = t('This form has received the maximum number of entries.');
    }
    else {
      $message = t('You may not submit another entry at this time.');
    }
  }
