There is no leak.

That is very much under your control. I'd suggest reading this:
http://people.apache.org/~markt/presentations/2010-08-05-Memory-Leaks-JavaOne-60mins.pdf

as it highlights much of what can go wrong.

There is no such requirement. Storing objects in the session does not
trigger a memory leak on web application reload.

No, this is not true.

I've taken the provided test code and confirmed - with a profiler - that
there is no memory leak.

There is something else that is triggering your memory leak. Follow the
steps in the presentation above to find out exactly what it is that is
pinning the web application class loader in memory.
