I've checked the code further. The cached value of
`tramp-adb-handle-directory-files-and-attributes' becomes invalid, when
one of the files in the directory changes its attributes. Consequently,
you must also flush the file properties of the directory, if you call
`tramp-adb-handle-set-file-modes' or `tramp-adb-handle-set-file-times'.

Good catch: There was the same issue in `tramp-sh-handle-set-file-modes' and 

`tramp-sh-handle-set-file-times'.
