Normally, running GC->CC->GC is enough to free everything, so an additional CC after that doesn't free anything else.  If something is buggy (a CCed thing holds onto a non-CCed thing, which holds onto a CCed thing) then it can take additional rounds of calling the GC and CC at shutdown for everything to clear up.  These are good to fix because in normal circumstances it will take longer for memory to be freed.

I never really got around to working on this. There are too many "real leaks" around for me to have time to fix these semi-leaks.
