Asset bundle memory leak and exception
Hi!
I have some problems related to unloading asset bundles. The problem is that unity leaks memory and throws the exception
Deleting persistent object without writing it first: customassetbundle-91b1e3789f272034fb2e5b6c381c4bce
Stacktrace:
 UnityEngine.AssetBundle:Unload(Boolean)
 Resource:Unload() (at Assets\Resource.cs:192)
 ResourceManager:DiscardResource(String) (at Assets\ResourceManager.cs:103)
 AssetBundleMemoryLeakTest:Update() (at Assets\AssetBundleMemoryLeakTest.cs:73)
 
 [C:/BuildAgent/work/842f9557127e852/Runtime/BaseClasses/BaseObject.cpp line 324] 
 (Filename: Assets/Resource.cs Line: 192)
when unloading an asset bundle under certain conditions.
Steps causing the exception and resulting memory leak:
- load an asset bundle containing a prefab which has a diffuse material and no texture set 
- After loading the asset bundle, set a dynamic texture to the diffuse material (manipulate the asset bundle) 
- Create one ore more instances of the modified asset bundle game object 
- When done, destroy all instances, the dynamic texture and the asset bundle 
- This will not free all used resouces, which causes a serious problem when loading and unloading a lot of asset bundles 
- Additional to the leaked memory the given exception is thrown, each time AssetBundle.Unload(true/false) is called 
I have to modify the game object before instancing it. So assigning the e.g. textures to the created instances is no option.
I am using unity 3.4.1.
I have created a little test project which reproduces the problem. It is attached to the error report:

Thanks in advance!

Thanks for your reply Jonas. A have already filed a bug report. Its the one linked in the inital post. The bug contains a simple test scene reproducing the memory leak. I would really appreciate it if you could take a look at the demo project.
Thanks.
