Er, no.  That's not okay.  Either by the implementation in this patch, or by my reading of the LangRef.  The langref says "This function attribute indicates that the function does not, directly or indirectly, call a memory-deallocation function (free, for example). "  There's no exception there for memory allocated in scope, nor should there be.
