Comment(by wjp):

 I think the ipython/sage output history might still be holding a ref
 there:

 {{{
 sage: V = QQ^7
 sage: V.rename('foo')
 sage: del V
 sage: import gc
 sage: gc.collect()
 60
 sage: QQ^7
 Vector space of dimension 7 over Rational Field
 sage: V = QQ^7
 sage: V.rename('foo')
 sage: V
 foo
 sage: import gc
 sage: gc.collect()
 9
 sage: QQ^7
 foo
 }}}

 (I left out printing V the first time.)


 I don't understand the impact of the version either... It might just be
 affecting the GC algorithm in some subtle way due to different memory
 usage, but I realize that's next to impossible to verify.
