Memory leak with NSPopupButton menu loaded from nib

I have run into what appears to be a major leak problem with NSMenus attached to NSPopupButtons instantiated from nibs.

My app uses several nib files each of which has a window containing a variable numbers of views (including several instances of NSPopupButton). Each nib is managed by a window controller and its window and views are loaded through a call to initWithWindowNibName. The window is released when the window controller is closed. ObjectAlloc shows that the window and all its associated objects are released *except* the NSMenus (and objects that belong to them) that were attached to the popupbuttons. My code does nothing that I know of to retain any of these.

This behavior is completely consistent in all nib files that I load and dispose of this way. I'm using the 10.2 and later nib format, and compiling and running under 10.3.4, though as far as I can tell the problem affects all versions of Panther.

Is this a known bug, and does anyone know a way around it? Or is there something special one is supposed to do to make sure menus are released? Help appreciated.
