That hasn't changed yet... if you miss both the client and MDS caches you 
get ESTALE.  The MDS cache is big, so this works okay for casual use, but 
it's not great.  This should be fixed on the server side of things for the 
next major release (cuttlefish).  The client code shouldn't need to 
change.
