Your problem does reproduce here. This paragraph from the output of
'aptitude show cvs' may be relevant:
This package contains a CVS binary which can act as both client and server,
although there is no CVS dæmon; to access remote repositories, please use
:extssh: not :pserver: any more.
It's therefore possible there's something slightly busted about the pserver
method at the CVS end, and the 3.[23] code trips over it even though the old
code did not. Note that new cvsps uses cvs-direct mode all the time; the old
support for fetching logs through local CVS commands is gone.
I use
cvsps --root :local:$PWD/repo module
for my testing, and that works. I'm up to my ears in finishing up the
test suite and tracking bugs in the repo-analysis code; if you want to
speed the process up, try running a :pserver: fetch with -v on under
both old and new code to see how the protocol transactions differ.

Not that I know of. The caching was a performance hack for human viewing
of changesets.
