Calling BasePage.purge forces the server to clear its cache for a page, and should probably also cause the client local state variables to also be cleared, so that subsequent use of the Page on the client will obtain fresh data from the server.

That issue seems similar to the fact that deleting latest_revision_id also doesn't properly reset everything. So maybe there should be one “clear_cache” which is called by both latest_revision_id.deleter and purge?
