It looks like there is some ordering issues:
This is a grep through /run/udev/links ; these are checked by udev-dev
# find . -name 'b250*'
./\x2fdisk\x2fby-uuid\x2f0a270acb-56b8-4498-8bad-b3bb149fe869/b250:1
./\x2fdisk\x2fby-uuid\x2f92b0868d-7e56-4956-8e55-2c90ebee4a72/b250:0
./\x2fbcache\x2fby-uuid\x2f92d882d8-38cd-4537-847b-6f9c40ba67b4/b250:1
./\x2fbcache\x2fby-uuid\x2f57e009b1-6bf4-42ea-abe0-334b10941a0b/b250:0
So both /dev/bcache/by-uuid and /dev/disk/by-uuid both point to the bcache
device (b250:0)
udevd shows this:

It would seem that the 'no longer belonging to ...bcache1' is the trigger
for the removal
however, 250:1 is indeed bcache1 device.
# ls -al /dev/bcache1
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 250, 1 Nov 30 23:39 /dev/bcache1
Looking at the systemd/udev/udev-event.c it appears that for entries in
the current udev database that don't have a new event associated with them
get the call to remove the old link
void udev_event_execute_rules()
...
if (major(udev_device_get_devnum(dev)) > 0) {
bool apply;
/* remove/update possible left-over symlinks from
old database entry */
if (event->dev_db != NULL)
udev_node_update_old_links(dev,
event->dev_db);
Will need to crawl through the db to see what the the event->dev_db entry
is and where that get's set.
