something something maps don't cause desync something clear path caches.

develobsters should have implemented path cache clearing / validation before game start right in the lobby...
With invalid path cache player should not even be able to join the gamr

Sure GoogleFrog,
but it seems like additional measures required to "help" other lobby developers do smth about it, for example block such lobbies unless they implement this feature(on the proto level)

Wouldn't it be possible to send something like hash of the pathCache upon map availability and reporting as ready?
server could trust chobby reported hashes and make a decision from here, i.e. do not allow players with incorrect pathCache hash to join the game(unready player)
i.e. to spoof such hash they would have to have a correct pathCache ;)

I think you would prefer to wait on engine testing. I'm up for it if you are keen though.
