I don't believe this for a second. I worked at multiple companies that manufactures setup boxes for DVB/IPTV; and basically everyone uses WebKit (regardless of the browser used, most commonly Opera, Netfront or Ekioh) essentially no setup box has more than 512MB RAM (where of about half is reserved for system use- especially MPEG acceleration), there is no swap at all.
Well, the leaks are still there nonetheless. But in set top boxes case, the processes using WebKit are most likely disposed as soon as possible to regain memory, and also, the UI is hopefully not as resource hungry as something like google services or facebook, for instance. :) Keep in mind the js leaks are closely related to the way the page is coded. Some pages using Javascript might not cause WebKit to leak.
