What exactly are the circumstances, and what makes you think there is a
leak?

By design, when an invocation returns with a location forward, omniORB
remembers the original object reference. Then if invocations on the new
location fail, omniORB retries with the original object reference.
That's important for various implementation repository approaches and
for object migration support.
