I suspect people don’t notice this on test systems because they don’t have a lot of VMs/interfaces running, and don’t leave them up for weeks at a time. That’s why I was running these tests on my production box, to have more VMs up.

I don't think it's related directly to the number of VMs running.
Maybe indirectly if it's related to the number of network interfaces (so 
vm interfaces add to the leak).

We've seen the leak on nodes under maintenance...
