Hmm, I don't quite agree but I could easily be misunderstanding.  The
mimeSourceFactory() should be providing a partial map between "href"'s
and the source.  Here is the same example, but shortened.  Looking at
the qt code, I don't see why doing a "setSource()" should change what
"data()" returns.  Even looking at QMimeSourceFactoryData it seems
that the "last" member data keeps leaks from happening.

Output from the script:
1:  <qt.QMimeSource instance at 1716b8>
2:  <qt.QMimeSource instance at 171700>
3:  None

Here is the code in qt/src/widgets/qtextbrowser.cpp:QTextBrowser::setSource()

    if ( !source.isEmpty() && url != d->curmain ) {
	const QMimeSource* m =
		    mimeSourceFactory()->data( source, context() );
	QString txt;
	if ( !m ){
	    qWarning("QTextBrowser: no mimesource for %s", source.latin1() );
	}
	else {
	    if ( !QTextDrag::decode( m, txt ) ) {
		qWarning("QTextBrowser: cannot decode %s", source.latin1() );
	    }
	}
