10 rep missing intermittently from account overview

Question

My reputation on SO is 3,895 and it has been ever since February 2nd, as https://stackoverflow.com/users/950430/dennis?tab=reputation shows:

However, the account overview on the profile page, sometimes shows only 3,885, as seen on https://meta.stackoverflow.com/users/170332/dennis:

Additional information:

I've noticed it once on MSO and twice on SU.
http://stackoverflow.com did not show any changes on all three occasions.
Opening the view more link below the 5 top accounts in a new tab and refreshing subsequently immediately fixed the offset.

Any ideas where my 10 rep goes when it's not home?

Your red lines definitely have to be bigger than that to hold in every last rep point. — Lix, Commented Feb 8, 2012 at 21:52
@ChrisF: Not saying your wrong, but I don't get it. Why do I get the current rep for SU, but intermittently last week's rep for SO? — Dennis, Commented Feb 8, 2012 at 22:03
@Dennis - The value on your account page is cached. Now if there's something dodgy going on with the cache that would explain it. All I was trying to say was don't worry. The correct value is in there. — ChrisF, Commented Feb 8, 2012 at 22:08

Our network-level user cache had a hiccup. You should be all fixed.

Also, here's my first (and hopefully only) attempt at using a meme:
