@Siltaar: thanks. 

I've played more around with the example, and the elements indeed seem to be GC'ed to early.
When adding conditional logging
```                       if (local_prefix.state) {
                            console.log(local_prefix.short);
                          } else {
                            console.log(local_prefix.long);
                          }
```
instead of the unconditional logging, the Web Console shows that `local_prefix.long` indeed becomes a empty `NodeList`.

Needs further investigation.

```

Interestingly, the GC also removes the objects when `prefix`'s and `local_prefix`'s scope is changed to global.

Needs more investigation.
