I do see these messages in the log (approximately once/minute, it looks like).

Here's a test:

- I boot and then deleted ('nova delete ...') an instance.  This
  leaves the database looking like this:

mysql> select created_at,updated_at,allocated,instance_id
        from fixed_ips where allocated=0 and instance_id is not null;
+---------------------+---------------------+-----------+-------------+
| created_at          | updated_at          | allocated | instance_id |
+---------------------+---------------------+-----------+-------------+
| 2012-06-21 20:26:45 | 2012-06-26 18:56:32 |         0 |        2247 |
+---------------------+---------------------+-----------+-------------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)

- I wait a while...

mysql> select utc_time();
+------------+
| utc_time() |
+------------+
| 19:08:24   |
+------------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)

- But the ip still has an instance_id:

mysql> select created_at,updated_at,allocated,instance_id
        from fixed_ips where allocated=0 and instance_id is not null;
+---------------------+---------------------+-----------+-------------+
| created_at          | updated_at          | allocated | instance_id |
+---------------------+---------------------+-----------+-------------+
| 2012-06-21 20:26:45 | 2012-06-26 18:56:32 |         0 |        2247 |
+---------------------+---------------------+-----------+-------------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)

That option appears to be set to the default of 600 seconds.
