Comment:

 I suspect that the reason this happens after repeated loads is that we
 probably link every object compiled so far in the session into each new
 object. Afterall, the user's entered expression may refer to anything the
 user previously entered.

 CCing angerman who has thought more about how to deal with this
 limitation.
