"x2" does *not* have its refcount drop to zero, since it is still referenced by x. In other words, "x2" can only be on a "kill list" after "x" has been finalized, which can only be *after* __del__ was executed. If Jython does things differently, then certainly its behaviour is incompatible with the common expectations of Python developers.
