Hey maybe turning of the caching for this block would solve that issue if thats the only block which is not working when using caching. See link below, I use the same strategy and it works perfect for me http://blog.magikcommerce.com/how-to-turn-off-cache-for-an-individual-block-in-magento/

Yes got it by changing the cache_lifetime from 7200 to null in dynamicproducts.php page.

$this->addData(array( 'cache_lifetime' => null, 'cache_tags' => array(Mage_Catalog_Model_Product::CACHE_TAG) ));
