Model.invalidateCache is not what's needed here.  It turns out that when
that cache gets stale (either through explicit invalidateCache or just a
new Request), Model.getData will update the model data in
Model.original...  but it only swaps out the Model.original attribute,
it doesn't replace the Model with a new Model adapter for the new data. 
Which is how I was getting my FooReport instances ending up inside a
StringModel adapter.

What I've done now is, in Page.request: del self.submodels["report"]
This makes sure that old model adapters never hang around.  It also
smells bad.

Am I violating some unwritten contract here which says "a model factory
must always return models with the same interface"?
