Comment (by anonymous):

 it's actually correct that the auto_ptr-like object is release()d, because
 it doesn't only free the memory but also calls the destructor of "type",
 which would be invalid if load_construct_data throws, indicating it failed
 to construct.

 but there is still memory allocated that needs to be freed.
