you are right. It seems to be a combination of a limitation of default
memcached and the ignorance of many users who just are not willing to
click on the logout button.
And, yes I have now seen the "gc - TODO" comment in the source.

Too bad that the work around requires "hacking" the source code of
memcached. This is even not documented, as far as I know. I guess in case
of problems the memcached guys will tell us that this hack is not official
and so unsupported. 

A comment in slab.c says:
[...]
The last  slab size is always 1MB, since that's the maximum item size
allowed by the memcached protocol.
