Thanks, I probably misunderstood the purpose of the render context.

Yes, the cache stores transparency, but to send the wanted transprancey down from QgsVectorLayer through QgsRenderer to QgsSymbol requiers an extra parameter in the interfaces. Maybe that's the best way?

Well, if we want to keep it within Qgsvectorlayer, we could:
1) Set alpha channel dynamically, or
2) Cache in QgsVectorLayer
