The GC + child editing context thing sounds like a problem we ran into a couple 
years ago ... From my notes:

"The essence of the problem is that EO's track retain count as an ivar. This 
retain count records how many nested ec's contain that EO as well, because they 
share a snapshot (with refcount = 1). If, however, the parent EO gets garbage 
collected while the nested EC version of it is still alive, the parent EO's 
retain count disappears and it throws off the snapshot ref counting.

We talked about this and bounced around a couple ideas, but ultimately the one 
that seemed to have the least side-effects was to track the retain count in the 
EC rather than the EO. This patch provides an impl of that concept -- retain 
count is now removed from EO and pushed up into a dictionary in the EC. Now 
even if the underlying EO gets GC'd, the retain counts won't be lost."
