There's an extra refcount decrement coming from something, so releasing self might also trigger it :(. As an emergency fix, I guess just making dealloc a no-op would do it; that's a relatively minor leak, assuming -releaseResources gets sent.

AFAICT, yes, since it happens after the icon is done with the webview. It looks like it has a couple of extra releases, though. WTF.

I still have a faint hope that there's a missing delegate call or something that would fix it, or maybe a bug elsewhere. If it were in the view/controller/operation level, though, it should show up with other icon classes :/.
