Look at the comments in that file:

# This is needed since XFce adds a few hicolor icons that would
# not otherwise be cached.  Really, I'm not sure the idea of
# caching icons is a good one -- the use of gtk-update-icon-cache
# could disappear from future install scripts.

...a bit lower down:

if [ -e usr/share/icons/hicolor/icon-theme.cache ]; then # ONLY run this is there's already a cache!!!

Not sure if that clarifies anything or further confuses the issue.
