I am happy to provide the API; see the following patches.
But I won't have time to figure out who, outside of refs.c, has to
*call* invalidate_cached_refs(). The candidates that I know off the
top of my head are git-clone, git-submodule, and git-pack-refs. It
would be great if experts in those areas would insert calls to
invalidate_cached_refs() where needed.
Even better would be if the meddlesome code were changed to use the
refs API. I'd be happy to help expanding the refs API if needed to
accommodate your needs.

invalidate_cached_refs(): take the submodule as parameter
invalidate_cached_refs(): expose this function in refs API
