Actually, I've just seen the difference.

~QPluginLoader:
    if (d)
        d->release();

~QFactoryLoaderPrivate:
    for (int i = 0; i < libraryList.count(); ++i) {
        QLibraryPrivate *library = libraryList.at(i);
        library->unload();
        library->release();
    }

A QPluginLoader loads one plugin. A QFactoryLoader loads all plugins matching 
a given filter.
