When I’m chasing presumed-to-be-dead objects, I do something equivalent to the following:
* as the only user, run markForCollection and note number of dead objects
* reclaimAll
* logout/login
* repeat till zero dead objects
* look for object (should be nil)
* look for references to object

The most common reason for “dead” objects not being reclaimed is that they are still referenced from another session. Can you confirm that the MFC and reclaim were done as the only user and that you logged out and back in before looking for the object?
