I believe that you are talking about nodes in a document tree here. These don't have their wrappers collected as long as they have custom properties or event handles (see isObservableThroughDOM() in JSDOMBinding.cpp). So I don't think that there is a problem here.

We certainly have known and unknown cases that aren't handled properly - see e.g. bug 34231. Another example is nodes in undo/redo stack. These are edge cases, but it would be nice to fix them. Unless you are looking for a general solution (and currently, this code isn't quite centralized), separate bugs with specific examples are preferable.

It's also likely that JSC and v8 bindings have different sets of issues.
