I've filed Bug 39879 to track this.

I'm still looking into the details of the circular reference problems to see if this patch can be reverted completely, or whether it can be adapted to clear the ongoing requests in disconnectFrame() rather than in stop(). I'll continue to update the bug with my progress, but if you feel that you must revert this patch now, please go ahead. Please CC on me on any related bugs you file.
