Nor do I, and I'm pretty sure it's leaking memory wholesale within a
transaction if you have aborted subxacts.
e.g. a few iterations of this, on a table with an appropriate trigger:
savepoint s1;
insert into foo
select i, case when i < 100000 then repeat('a',100)
else repeat('a',1/(i-100000)) end
from generate_series(1,100000) i;
rollback to s1;
This is a bit contrived of course but it shows that there's missing
cleanup somewhere, either in the form of poor choice of context or
missing code in the subxact cleanup.

For per-row triggers with transition tables, a pointer to the transition
capture state ends up in the shared-data record in the event queue?
