Hmm I tried adding the object to the root as a test, however I am of
course realizing that errors occur when closing the context if the user
script does not explicitely close the objects.

It would seem that JS_AddRoot() is only made for short time use in
particular circumstances sort of locking resources when performing
multiple operations which need atomicity only.

However, were my fears justified about possibility of those objects from
being GCed?  Or would current GC semantics be trustable that this won't
happen in normal usage?
