Great article! I have a long running single page javascript application so I am well aware of the problems with IE and garbage collecting :)
Basically what I tend to do to make sure I dont keep any references around is to act like there is no garbage collecting and use a destructor function which cleans up the object when its finished. So basically I have an onDestroy() that I call on my objects. It easier to keep track of your references in a small object so calling onDestroy on the objects when I know I am done with them provides a nice way to clean up.
