I think I now realise (blinding flash during dinner tonight - must have been the wine!) the (so bleeding obvious and I have actually encountered it before in another context but totally forgot about it) problem with memory use by BitmapEx. I need to think about it to come up with a way to restructure the use of BitmapEx so that you don't inadvertently cause it to happen. In the meantime the Dispose workaround is a valid solution to the problem.

I was right about the problem and while checking it found it was caused by a memory leak in the Basic4ppc treatment of library objects that have New called on them more than once so I don't need to to anything to ImageLibEx.

Erel agrees it is a bug and will hopefully fix it for the next version after which you won't need to Dispose and AddObject to free memory.
