I believe that the GC needs a frame or two to go through and clean house. Depending on your frame rate, a quick setTimeout could work.
FYI - I think the runtime Flash cycle consists of graphics update, AS code execution, and event handling, in that order. If graphics update or code execution bogs down a little but during a cycle, the event might not get picked up until the next cyce.
