What I have found:

• I thought it was due to the getUID closure that could not be GCed due to the ref to the id string. It's not: extracting the getUID to be a Shape method with a _uid field that is nullified when the shape is detroyed has no effect. That is:

instead of

constructor: function(){
  ...
  var uid = shape.register(this);
  this.getUID = function(){
    return uid;
  }
}

replaced by:

constructor: function(){
  ...
  this._uid = shape.register(this);
},
getUID: function(){
  return this._uid;
},
destroy: function(){
  shape.dispose(this);
  this._uid = null;
}

• it's not a leak due to the registry map. Even if I comment the call to registry[uid] = shape, the problem still there.

• The fact that FF or Safari memory is flat (for Safari, it increases then stabilizes) leads me to think the gfx api implementation is handling the cleanup correctly.
