I was able to reproduce the issue using your test case. I am not sure if it is by design. Please submit a bug.
Also the issue gets resolved if you call Info.load() - without specifying the application domain.

Create a new Flex project and set FlexApp.mxml as the "Main application file" and add TestModule.mxml as a Module. To verify that the _TestModule_mx_core_FlexModuleFactory "factory" instance is NOT getting unloaded, perform these steps: 1) Launch profiler and wait for FlexApp to load 2) Before clicking "Load Module", take a Memory Snapshot. 3) Click "Load Module" and wait for TestModule to load (its a green square). 4) Click "Unload Module" and TestModule unloads. 5) Take a 2nd Memory Snapshot. 6) Select both Memory Snapshots and click "Find Loitering Objects". You should see _TestModule_mx_core_FlexModuleFactory in the Loitering Objects list. You can double-click _TestModule_mx_core_FlexModuleFactory to obtain further details. I want to confirm that someone else can reproduce this issue before I submit a bug to Adobe. I also want to confirm that this behavior is not by design. Does anyone have any suggestions as to why this happens and possible work arounds? Note: I am using Flex Builder 3.0 (release).
