Comment(by mikeperry):

 According to skruffy, this is due to the call to
 eventSuppressor.suppressEventHandling() during torbutton_disable_all_js().
 Removing it eliminates the leak. Possibly DOM events are required to unref
 all of the objects in a window?

 Oddly, the leaks still happen if JS is fully disabled, at least via
 NoScript's disabling.
