I haven’t checked the code but I think the avatar is baked into the cooked post, so those posts will have the old avatar until/unless the post is rebaked.
I have hundreds (thousands) of posts here, if changing my avatar rebaked them all, I could cause a bunch of server activity by continually changing my avatar.
Also, this is sort of a feature. This way, the post records who you were when you posted, not who you are today.
I think changing avatar does line up a rebake of the user’s quoted posts? I’m not sure on the schedule though.
Edit: I am now not sure. I have been waiting patiently for it to magically kick in on my test site, but no joy yet. I could have sworn I’d seen it in action on a forum I’m not a staff member of, but looking back over a few oneboxed and quoted links from there over the last month it appears I still have an older avatar in those.
When I searched I found this, which I thought confirmed that it did line up a rebake for them, but I think I may have got confused:
Just to round this off, it was a bug and has now been fixed.
