I've encountered type 2 leaks while working on a popular web browser. It wasn't type 1 leak and so it got overlooked.
One example: on pages that self-refreshed at regular intervals, the same page URL was added to the history list each time. That ended up leaking a ton of memory if you left the page open over several days.
