Best I can tell, the standard providers should all handle cacheDuration in
2.1 SP by setting validUntil to time(NULL) + cacheDuration. It just turns
one into the other and then uses the same logic it always did to enforce
validUntil.

So if it's expiring it prematurely (that's what it's silently doing),
there's a bug in that code.
