If the documentation says that the GC will handle it, it's usually correct :-)

Did you do your measures after a GC to make sure your memory
measurements are accurate?

Also WebKit uses lots of caches internally which could account for the
memory increase (one being the back/forward cache if you navigate to
other pages). You will have to do more precise memory measurements if
you want us to give you good advises.
