That fact leads me to believe that the previous kext has been cached somewhere. Can anyone point me at some relevant documentation or explain what's going on?

The system caches KEXT information in a bunch of places, primarily to speed up the boot process. The canonical way to clear those KEXTs is to touch "/System/Library/Extensions" after installing your KEXT . Does your installer do that?
