We don't check that "cd" worked either before or after your patch.
Should we?

After your patch, we "return" from inside a subshell. Is that portable?
ISTR issues around that before, but it just have been when we are not in
a function at all. Still, I wonder if:

  for ...
  do
	(
		cd "$subtree" &&
		generate_expected_cache_tree_rec "$dir$subtree"
	) || return 1
  done

might be more obvious.

I wondered what the "rec" was for, but I guess it is "recurse". Not a
problem to keep it, but I wonder if it could be dropped in the name of
shortness/simplicity (not worth a re-roll for sure, but maybe worth
doing so if you re-roll for the above issues).
