They do somewhat.  I'll investigate.  But much of the memory is still reachable:

==26203==    indirectly lost: 17,945,950 bytes in 642,546 blocks
==26203==      possibly lost: 2,805 bytes in 60 blocks
==26203==    still reachable: 26,104,781 bytes in 544,782 blocks
==26203==         suppressed: 8,652 bytes in 176 blocks
==26203== Reachable blocks (those to which a pointer was found) are not shown.
==26203== To see them, rerun with: --leak-check=full --show-reachable=yes

Could you add the --show-reachable=yes to VALGRIND_OPTS variable?
