yes, omitting io-cache from configuration works OK, no leaks.

I probed maps of glusterfs when leaks occur, bonnie++ created 8 files each
having 1GB size. maps shown that four of them were mmaped. So I guess it tries
to cache as much as possible on x86_64.

I can provide either core of leaked process or steps how to reproduce.
I have 3 servers. Config one of them is attached, configs are symmetrical.
I use bonnie++ benchmark to test the file system:
bonnie++ -d /mnt/gluster -u 0:0
the first run of bonnie is usually ok. the second fails on memleaks. It's
important to use 64bit system.
