"File history" table on https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Orsip.png says user is Magdalenacicha ; https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=File:Orsip.png&action=history says the same.

Please provide steps to reproduce the problem and the expected username.

It does now … strange, at the time I filed the bug it said (and linked to) "Śląskie Centrum Społeczeństwa Informacyjnego". The infobox still does that. (The username in the version history and the page log was always the right one.)

Caching things is normal, and it's hard to make what this bug is about so it's hard to tall whether it should be expected in this specific case or not. Please reopen if this still occurs and you think it is not reasonable behavior.
