Comment(by jpflori):

 If you used "==" for equality testing for actions in the coercion model
 (as in the parent caches) and let "j=j" in the "usual piece of code", this
 is not surprising because for "==" all the curves are equal, so there will
 be no duplication nor memory leak.

 To perform a better test, you should replace j=j by j=K.random_element()
 in the constructor of the elliptic curve (as I did a few tickets up) to
 get really different curves (i.e. for "is" and for "==").
 I fear the memory leak is still there with this second example...
