        Obviously the list must be owned to have vala free it. The fact, that
        this gets compiler indicates, that the binding returns unowned list,
        which contradicts the documentation (quoted below).

Judging from your code sample, the binding declares the return value
incorrectly unowned where it in fact is owned. Can anybody confirm it?
