I can't delete an instance when using postgresql, because the code is passing an integer instance id where a UUID is expected to instance_info_cache_delete_by_instance_id. I expect the bug also exists on MySQL, but MySQL is much more liberal with parameter conversion, though the data won't be deleted.

This is true! It's as simple as instance_destroy passes instance id instead of instance uuid into instance_
