I remember that I fixed a mem leak for next snap which was font
related, but wmifs is no X client. Surprising is, that wmifs and
wmibar use the same amount of memory in your scenario which is
really odd. 

I just rechecked with:

; while true; do wmiir write /bar/2/data foo; donee

in bash, and surprisingly the mem usage increases drastically,
smells like a mem leak in old (soon obsolete) libixp/ramfs.c.
