So, I'm pretty sure I was mistaken about this being a memory leak. My app had a bug in which a SELECT form field (options widget) was being populated by hundreds of thousands of items from the db. This caused memory use to exceed server limits when the view was rendered multiple times in rapid succession. In the absence of this, garbage collection does seem to proceed normally. Sorry for the confusion.
