Specifically, how does the application domain relate to the linked move clips? And how are you testing that they have or haven't been removed from memory? How do you know? Thanks in advance for any more light you can shed... I’ve been trying to understand this issue completely for some time now and I wonder if you could elaborate a little on this.

Thanks for posting this, it confirms results I just discovered myself. It can be really tricky to get swfs to unload (see gskinner's articles on the subject), there's a recipe of different odds and ends that need to be tweaked to reliably unload a swf. The story's a little different in Flash 10, where swfs unload more easily (and there's a new API to help), but your above observation about using the app's currentDomain still holds in Flash 10.
