Yes, it's just adding a __set%d to the cache.

I did not find any command that triggers any problem right now. I just
think we should not add an anonymous set to the cache.
BTW, are not set->desc.field_len and set->key->field_len duplicated
fields? Same thing with field_count.
Probably it should be possible to simplify this by using
set->key->field* instead? So set_evaluate() is not required to
transfer the fields.
Thanks.
