The Mapping operator is assigning mapping overrides to your particles, which are a post-affect applied after a shape is assigned. So that's why the cache isn't using the new shape's UVWs...because they're being overwritten by your Mapping operator override. That's intended behavior, since the point of overrides (like those assigned by the Mapping operator) is to override mesh UVWs.
If you want both you can simply assign the overrides to a different mapping channel or vice versa.
