Although "use after free" sounds scary, these warnings are always false positives. I don't think I've ever seen this warning find a real bug. In this case, it's complaining that a value is used on line 256 after it's freed on line 258, which we humans know should be impossible, assuming no mismatched ref/derefs. That's admittedly a big assumption, but if it's violated anywhere I doubt we'll find it based on this warning....
