You have it -- this is a SpiderMonkey bug that bites your embedding.  
Sorry about that, I should have seen it coming (but I do keep forgetting 
about your embedding's multiple runtime model, which is rare but not 
unheard of).  I'll fix it today.  Here's the bugzilla link: 
http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=235145.

(Shanti Rao wins bonus points for raising the issue of global-ness for 
script_filename_table just the other day, 'tho not of the infeasibility 
of mark/sweep per runtime with multiple runtimes to GC the table.)
