graphics/gdk-pixbuf2 loader.cache issues

I'm building a lot of packages which use the new graphics/gdk-pixbuf2 port, and it looks like its
now a requirement that the command "gdk-pixbuf-query-loaders --update-cache" is run before using
any gdk app, otherwise we get runtime errors such as:
"/usr/local/lib/gdk-pixbuf-2.0/2.10.0/loaders.cache" not found.

In some cases the apps just stop working at this point, otherwise they may startup but with
missing graphics, screen corruption, etc. 

Since this file seems to be needed now, shouldn't the package automatically run that
command when it installs? Is anybody else seeing this?
