  It isn't.  See Neil's excellent explanation.

  The test is passing just fine, and is complete before the test for
garbage is performed.  The unlink() method on DOM objects is the
culprit; it is updating the Node.allnodes dictionary correctly, but
not the Node instances.  I've already asked Paul & Lars to fix this;
it should work just fine with or without GC once they've seen the
report.
