Thanks...

Spot on.

Actually in core.c we're already checking this:

	case PIN_MAP_TYPE_MUX_GROUP:
		if (state == p->state)
			pinmux_disable_setting(setting);
		pinmux_free_setting(setting);
		break;

So this is just buggy driving the refcount down to negative.
(I think Jean-Nicolas noticed this phenomenon...)

I should just delete pinmux_free_setting().
