Is there a bug open for that issue?

No particular action, no.  After reporting this bug, I watched a DVD last
night, and then suspended my laptop (after stopping the film).

After resuming this morning, I see:

mdz      24782  1.2  8.0 578848 245560 pts/0   Sl   Apr13   9:09 compiz
--replace

and the memory usage is creeping up quickly without any explicit WM action from
me:
