If the header isn't found in a list, then the monitor wont remove it.

The monitor will not only unreference but will also remove it from that
list (the unreference happens caused by the remove, actually). The
second time it wont be found and therefore not unreferenced anymore
either.

But if you are seeing an unreference-to-much, please do fix it indeed.

You can test this with refdbg (there's a page on the wiki that explains
how you can set this up).
