I posted some tricks on the ML to help debug the problem. Also, a single
cache corruption can lead to many error reports (basically whenever
a command relying on `org-element-at-point' is used).

It makes `org-element-context'/`org-element-at-point' very fast in
almost every situation. This is of course the most noticeable when
editing large sections.

However, once remaining glitches in the cache are fixed, I expect to
make fontification use it. So, turning cache off in the long run doesn't
help moving forward, though it may be convenient in some unfortunate
situations.
