Not caching it is a worse idea.
There should simple be a note in the doc of insert-directory-program,
saying that if you change this, you may need to change
dired-use-ls-dired. If insert-directory-program were a defcustom
(currently, it is not even a user option), it could have a :set function
that makes the necessary change for you.
