Would you be able to install Meliae (lp:meliae), and then when memory
consumption gets big use either SIGQUIT (Ctrl+\) or SIGBREAK
(Ctrl+Pause/Break) on Windows to get into a debugger. And then run:

 from meliae import scanner
 scanner.dump_all_objects('memory.dump')

And then bzip2 the result and attach it to this bug?

That would make it easier to determine where the memory is actually
being consumed.
