The GCC documentation [1] says that the attribute 'malloc (deallocator, 1)' does not work on inline functions. IMO, this restriction is not tenable in the long run (because the semantics of a function don't depend on whether it is inline or not, and because in C++ the majority of all functions is inline).
Yes, this problem also annoyed me. I uninlined the relevant functions, but that's not always a reasonable thing to do, performance-wise.
I submitted a GCC bug report for this issue, here: https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=101829
