...and just so your _solution_ is not too confusing in future, I think
you've got the TS wrong; it should be:

subparts.FEATURE = COA_INT
subparts.FEATURE {
   10 = CONTENT
   10 {
       table = tt_content
       select {
           pidInList = 1092
           max = 1
           orderBy = rand()
       }
   }
}

...which is a non-cached object. If you just use a CONTENT object, you
will experience the problem you reported earlier (namely that it seems
to show the same random bit of content each time.)
