The rationale for why we still had it was that:

Really? I thought that in this case there would be no leak because the
(temporary-returned) nsCOMPtr destructor would properly free the object. The
problem is that `foobar` potentially points to an object which has already
been released.
Correct. I assume that's what he meant.
Er, yes. I remembered there was a problem, I forgot the actual problem. :-[
