Preview Won't Update, No caching, multiple browsers

Previews of pages do not update. Previews will update as they should for hours and then suddently, no changes can be seen in the preview. The only way to see updates is to publish the page. As soon as you unpublished it, it reverts to the previous version…

This happens even if there is no caching plugin installed.

This happens even if I clear my browser cache.

This happens on the first view of a preview on a computer/browser never used (i.e. log into wordpress then copy and paste the preview link).

This happens if I change the URL by adding something like &notthesameurl=123123123123 to the end to try to fool any caching systems.

This happens even after I rm -r the wp-content/cache directoy.

If I change the title of the page, the title in the preview changes, but the contents of the page DO NOT CHANGE. So, the HTML for the page is at least being somewhat updated but the wordpress php is either caching or loading old page contents.

This problem has been getting progressively worse for months for me. It happens on several different sites… Trying to rationally create a page is impossible when this is going on.

Any suggestions as to what else might be, despite all efforts, caching a preview, which should never-ever-ever-ever be cached under any circumstances (it is a transient preview) and how to prevent that?
