Model list appears empty when creating new question, even though models exist

[tjmurray]

When creating a new Question, then selecting Model as starting point, the Model list appears empty, even though Models exist.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Create one or more Models and save in "our analytics"
2. Start creating a new Question, via the " + New" button in the top-right in the menu bar.
3. Click "Models" from the list of "Models, Raw Data, Saved Questions"
4. Observe that the list of Models is empty.

The models were recently created (30 mins ago), so perhaps there is a time delay in them being visible here? But even if this is the case then this is highly undesirable behaviour.

Expected behavior
Would have expected the saved models to be accessible here. Otherwise how are you supposed to use them to build questions?

Screenshots
Here is the empty list:

Here is the "our analytics" page showing that Models exist:

Severity
Fairly severe. Cannot create questions on top of the complex models which have been painstakingly created as the bedrock of this project's analytics

Okay so I'm fairly confident this is a caching issue. After doing a force page reload (reload from origin without any browser caching), then the models now appears in the list, but this is quite annoying behaviour and average users won't know how to force reload, let alone to even think of doing it. And even for users who know how to do this, it's a pain to do it every time you create a new model.

Caused by browser cache, repeat of #24878.

@flamber did you manage to reproduce that? I can't do it by following the steps from the description. At least not in 0.44.4 as mentioned

@ranquild Historically similar to #9027

1. New question > select Models in the data selector, so it does a request for models
2. New native > select 1, 2 - save - turn in a model
3. New question > select Models in the data selector - it won't show the new model until you browser refresh
