Eric, please report this directly upstream: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=accountsservice

and comment here with the URL of the bug you created.

I am asking you to do this because I do not experience this bug on my machines, and upstream developers will likely need someone who is actually experiencing the issue to run some tests to determine the cause of the leak.

(Two small memory leaks were recently fixed in upstream git tree, but I cannot see any way for them to have added up to 2G over 5 days.)

Same problem for me. This looks like the same report upstream.
