CollectionView is not currently being Garbage Collected (2)

Description

Hi

Many thanks for your work on the following issue so far: #20710

Unfortunately, I'm still facing the memory leak on iOS - even with the latest nightly build 8.0.20-nightly.10316.

It seems, that the leak only occurs when using the CollectionView via Xaml:

    <CollectionView x:Name="MyCollectionView">
        <CollectionView.ItemTemplate>
            <DataTemplate>

                <Label Text="Test" />

            </DataTemplate>
        </CollectionView.ItemTemplate>
    </CollectionView>

And then in the code behind:

    public PageXamlLeak()
    {
        InitializeComponent();

        MyCollectionView.ItemsSource = new ObservableCollection<string> { "1", "2", "3" };
    }

When constructing the same control via a C# page, the leak doesn't occur.

I hope you can take a 2nd took at this memory leak.
Many Thanks!

Steps to Reproduce

• run sample
• click button to go to leaking Xaml page - and navigate back
• do this several times: ~PageXamlLeak() called never gets logged
• in contrast test the same with the C# page that is not leaking

I agree, I don't think this issue is fixed. I've reopened it and closing this one as a dupe.
