I now have updated the test statement & ran another set of tests both on Precise (2.7.1) and Saucy (3.1.3). Both test ran for 14 hours. Here is an outline of the memory usage in both cases:
Distro Version Mem Used Mem Free
===== ===== ========= =======
Precise 2.7.1 476780 1574972 (start) 908232 1143520 (finish) Delta 431452 -431452
Indeed, my test statement was wrong.

A graphical view of the data is attached to the bug.
So there seems to be an existing leak situation up to the current version of rabbitmq-server
