What do you mean with "a completely fresh initialized ccache setup"?
Is it a cache where you only have run "ccache -M 10" or so?

With ccache 2.4, I think you are OK. There might be problems with
ccache newer than 2.4 because then the statistics files are removed as
part of process of updating counters. Initializing in a startup script
should be OK.
