I grabbed a great screencap, but forgot to paste it into paint before I shut down.
I've got 1-2 of those that I can post later. At least one of them shows my lava-filled cavern.

I think it must happen (sometimes) when you walk across the boundaries between two areas and there's a little bit of lag loading the new one...I marked a spot on the big road with a dirt block on the side of the wall (and maybe it's still there?) exactly where I noticed it happening if you want to try to force it to happen. It's on the road somewhere between the colossus and the waterfall cavern turn, and I've always seen it while walking towards the base.

I'm not sure what you'd have to do to get it to "unload" the first area...maybe go to a 3rd area, then back through 2nd area to 1st? Or maybe stay in 2nd area for awhile until it decides you aren't going back soon?
