You're right.  This is one of the reasons why you must purge your
browser cache and your proxy cache regularly when you use tor, typi-
cally whenever you switch from one persona too the other.

This is also why I recommend that people using Polipo with tor should
not use an on-disk cache, unless they understand the consequences.
