Do you have a test case for this? When I try, I get this result:
double:~$ date ; touch foo
Tue Oct 6 14:26:12 CEST 1998
double:~$ ls -l foo
-rw-r--r-- 1 map usr 0 Oct 6 14:26 foo
double:~$

This is due to the caching done in the Linux 2.0 xfs module. Killing
arlad should empty the cache, and thus release all refcounts on the
inodes.
