 I guess this is expected, because of the newly introduced strong cache for
 polynomial rings at the latest version of #715.

 Same as above: This test was supposed to show that garbage collection for
 polynomial rings happens, but it doesn't, with a strong cache.

 I guess that is more serious. IIRC, it comes from code in
 polynomial_template.

 Anyway. If that kind of problems persist, then I guess we need #13447.
