Yes, i would be surprised if that was something to do with the ruby
bindings, but not impossible.

All C++ lists are converted to Ruby Arrays and so there is no equivalent of
'destroy on remove' - the underlying C++ instances for the list elements
will be deleted when Ruby GCs them. If a list element was created in the C++
world, it won't be deleted though as the qtruby runtime assumes that the C++
side will delete.
