The by-hash implementation is the most likely reason. I need to extend
the code to move the stuff correctly in the cache (todo ASAP, probably
in the next days).

There is a way to turn it off but it is a brutal one.

/usr/lib/apt-cacher-ng/acngtool cfgdump | grep =.*by.hash > /etc/apt-cacher-ng/zzz_temp_override.conf

And then edit the new file and remove the "by-hash" strings there, or
better change them to NOBYHASH or something. Don't forget to remove the
file when proper support is available.

Regards,
Eduard.
