Thanks @driesvints good to know: there is no bug!!
It will be worth trying with a fresh app.
I've already post on Laracasts Forum and StackOverflow...

I have the same issue

@adellinocasas, @piterog

• First, laravel uses different bases for Redis and Cache facades.
  See config/database.php redis.default and redis.cache
  
• Second, Laravel uses a prefix for Redis keys.
  See config/database.php redis.options.prefix
• Thirdly, the Cache facade uses a prefix for the key. Concatenate database.redis.options.prefix and cache.prefix
  See config/cache.php prefix

Finally

To view cache values change database and find keys:

127.0.0.1:6379[1]> SELECT 1;
127.0.0.1:6379[1]> KEYS *bar*
1) "laravel_database_laravel_cache:bar2"
2) "laravel_database_laravel_cache:bar3"

• laravel_database_ is database.redis.options.prefix
• laravel_cache: is cache.prefix
• bar2 your key
