Correct.

After deletion and reboot, I have only com.apple.LaunchServices-0140.csstore
and com.apple.LaunchServices-014501.csstore in /Library/Caches/. Before,
there were more, like on your machine.

I took the easy/dangerous route of letting Tiger Cache Cleaner [TCC] do the
work for me, so I can't tell if deleting just one specific cache file would
have sufficed. Initially I tried letting TCC only delete my user
LaunchServices cache, and that did not fix it. I assume TCC referred to
/Library/Caches/com.apple.LaunchServices-014501.csstore, but I didn't check
if indeed it deleted just that file. Then I opted to let TCC delete both User
and System LaunchServices caches, which deleted all
com.apple.LaunchServices-0140*.csstore files. in /Library/Caches/ and solved
the original problem.

Btw, upon reboot my Services menu was almost empty; only about 8 items with
for instance PGP gone. It took another reboot to have it populated (with all
32) again.

Yes, looks like it. Logging in as another user (through FUS) with uid 504
indeed creates /Library/Caches/com.apple.LaunchServices-014504.csstore
