Since in both cases the resultparent is an already used reference, shouldn't

Probably.
Till you told me, I wasn't even aware that there was a refcounting mechanism.
I see no reason why there should be one, so I'd be in favour of removing it
alltogether.
Then you need some global list to add them to. (to be able to deallocate).
Why ?
It might be the various TPasModule sections already double as something like
this, but that has to be validated.
Each element should deallocate it's "children".
Since an element tree is always a strict tree, this is unambiguous.
Refcounting is not needed at all.
I'm not in favour of a global list and a 'garbage collection' style of memory
management. It makes manipulating the tree a pain.
This will take some reworking, apparently (each destructor must be filled
with code to deallocate children). For the time being, try the incref.
