re: Why does Windows keeps showing the old indirect strings even after I update the binary?

Why not have a second cache with DLL update times, common to all users? When indirect string gets cached, the DLL is registered there. The system monitors FS for changes to those DLLs. Then, when indirect string is taken from the cache, it's time of caching is compared to the corresponding DLL update time, and if it's different, the string's invalidated.

In this common cache instead of DLL names you might store hashes. I wonder if this still qualifies as a privacy leak.
