I think the problem here is that byte[] is special-cased from a marshaling
standpoint, such that the array is not actually copied to unmanaged memory. 
The reason the method has a PixbufDestroyNotify delegate is to notify the
caller when it can release the data array.

If you hold that byte[] in an instance value, and implement a
PixbufDestroyNotify delegate to release your ref to it, the problem should be
resolved. 

I can probably add an overload for the method which does this automatically and
hides the DestroyNotify param.

Can you try the workaround I describe above and let me know if it resolves the
problem?
