Dunno, I thought I updated GNUstep prior to writing the patch.

I pulled the update just now, and NSViewController.m was updated; these
lines were added:

  RETAIN(_topLevelObjects);
  RELEASE(nib);

This does seem like it might fix the problem, I'll try this later on.

Of course! It's open for the last few months :D

You can reproduce by opening an .xcodeproj file, and clicking on a single
file in the groups&files outline view on the left. This  unloads the
existing NSViewController subclass instance and loads another one.

....Uhm, so, yes, that must be the update I pulled :-)
