OK, got it sorted now. What happens between MM and qmi-proxy is as follows:
- MM sends 6x Release CID to qmi-proxy (using libqmi) and disconnects
   immediately (qmi_device_close_async).
- The socket handler in qmi-proxy (connection_readable_cb) receives
   these messages in two batches. The first batch contains 2...3
   Release CID messages (which are processed OK) and the second batch
   contains the remaining ones. The second call has *both* G_IO_IN and
   G_IO_HUP set. As connection_readable_cb() processes G_IO_HUP first, it
   will never get to handle the remaining Release CID messages.
   => This leads to CID leak.

So it looks like this could be fixed most easily in qmi-proxy. I will
post a patch candidate for review/merging to libqmi project soon...

BR,
