That rings a bell, indeed.

But I'm not convinced it's a leak, as opposed to reachable memory that wasn't 
freed before exit.

I also don't think debug symbols will help here, since this is coming from the 
dynamic symbols of the module in question, not from the debug info. If you 
look at the qFatal() leak I fixed, you see that there are unknown QtCore frames 
printed, meaning the stack trace didn't use debug symbols.
