I don't know the answer to your question. A superficial glance at the relevant asyncio source code (and documentation) suggests you shouldn't be seeing what you are seeing. Tasks are kept in a weak set. Tasks should evaporate as soon as nobody references them. I wonder if there's a cyclical reference there somewhere. See if running GC removes the tasks.
