Yes, unfortunately.

After trying, I found no similar problem in Emacs 22.3 so far. The test
case does not translate directly to older Emacs versions, and in all
compatible cases I tested, CVS and 22.3 performed equally well and OK.

For example, when I do "emacs -Q -nw -f server-start" and evaluate:

   (defun myedit ()
     (run-with-timer 0.1 nil 'server-edit))

   (add-hook 'after-change-major-mode-hook 'myedit)

Then

   $ while true; do emacsclient test.txt; done

does not leak memory, regardless of which version I try it with.
