Reloading Technique library doesn't apply changes to generated promises

Description
I have seen this happen several times now, using 2.10 (it may exist on older versions, but I don't use them regularly, so I don't know).
To reproduce:
- Go to a running Rudder server
- cd /var/rudder/configuration-repository/techniques/
- Edit the contents of a .st file
- git add <that .st file> && git commit -m "Test change"
- Go back to the web interface, Administration tab, click on "Reload techniques"
- Watch the promise generation happen
Then, you can go and see the .cf file generated from the .st file you changed. It won't contain the change.
The simple workaround is to go to the web interface, Administration tab, click on "Clear caches", and the newly generated files will contain the change.

More information: the problem is on system techniques.
The cause is that reload technique only reload user technique (more preciselly, ignore system technique).
Nicolas, I think you were aware of that. Do you know if there is a reason, or if it's just a bug ?
Thanks,

More tests by Jon shows that it is not specific to system techniques. So Nicolas, I think my question was irrelevant.
The problem has been encountered again while helping someone to update his system AND normal Techniques, this problem is annoying. Maybe a quick win would be to trigger a clear caches too when reloading promises ?
Of course, the underlying issue would still require a fix.

it's quite hard to reproduce, hence the lack of fix yet.
I'll try to find a solution/workaround for this one.

So, I succeeded in reproducing it for motd.
I didn't find the root cause, but at least I can assure that:
- for the corresponding activeTechnique, the acceptationTimestamp is correctly updated,
- the techniqueLibraryVersion is correctly updated,
- the technique update is correctly logged (in debug level)
- the technique update correctly fire checks on directives using it
- Status changed from Discussion to In progress
- Status changed from In progress to Pending technical review

- Status changed from Pending technical review to Pending release
- % Done changed from 0 to 100
- Status changed from Pending release to Released
This bug has been fixed in Rudder 2.10.1, which was released today.
