These are the two patches I'm going with (the second builds on the first):

+ Andrew Beekhof (16 hours ago) 6554777: High: Core: Ensure file
descriptors and IPC channels attached to mainloop are correctly
cleaned up on disconnection
+ Andrew Beekhof (15 hours ago) 2a160e9: High: Core: Ensure
server-side IPC connections are cleaned up on client exit  (HEAD,
origin/master, origin/HEAD, master)

Both are in my repo (not ClusterLabs yet).
They include terrible terrible hacks for displaying the ref_count
(only if tracing is enabled) and after reading the glib sources and
running some tests through valgrind (testing the graceful and
non-graceful termination of both sides), I'm quite confident the
combination is correct.
