OK, I've filed a bug (will appear on bug parade in a day): 6489540: The Disposer thread could cause memory leaks in user applications
I've also found out that there's no way to address the first problem about inheritable thread local storage (see bug's evaluation). But the second one - with context classloader - will be fixed.
