Is it fixed in a later version of Leopard, or in Snow Leopard?

And it is a workaround to release it in the finalizer of the object that 
retains it and uses it?

When you are saying "it is broken" on Leopard, what exactly do you say you know 
is broken? GC in general, or the __strong thing, or.... ?

There is a bug internal the MD* API that causes this particular crash because 
it creates dangling weak references that the collecter stumbles over.   Purely 
a bug in MD* that is fixed in a later release.
