Nothing. We've noticed the same thing. It's a bug and was
first reported back in July, but no one has provided a fix yet.
I've had a brief look at the source code, but nothing obvious
pops out at me.

As you mention, this problem is trivially reproducable by
creating and then deleting a file. Doing that over and over
eventually leads to the ramfs becoming full. Only a reboot
(or perhaps a umount/mount) makes it usable again.
