Yes, I agree that your code snippets look correct and shouldn't leak.
It is unconventional to have a function which returns a reference to a
_var, which is perhaps what confused the other posters (?)

I tried something similar here with omniORB-4.0.6 and didn't get a leak.
Does your leak analysis tool show where in the code the leaked memory
was allocated?  Can you give us a complete small example that produces a
leak?

Luke.
