And before that, it happened with neither 24.3 nor the trunk?

All I see in the screencast is that the memory footprint grows, then
shrinks back.  Assuming you have something going on in Emacs that can
explain several hundreds of MBs of memory consumption, that's actually
normal: Emacs uses up memory when it needs it, then releases it when
it no longer does.  So maybe there's no problem here at all.
