I'm now at about about 3½ days of uptime and a little under 200 MiB of RSS (a little under 300 MiB virtual) for each of the processes mentioned in the report. I haven't noticed this kind of behaviour earlier but I usually don't have particularly long uptimes. Since this looks pretty similar to the original report, I'm confirming the bug.
I'm now logging the memory sizes for some time to see if it correlates with my use of the system somehow. At least it doesn't seem to grow constantly.
