Visual contents include protection against circular references, but this has been relaxed for cases where a turf is being added to visual contents. Therefore obj1 having visual contents containing turf2, whose physical contents contain obj1, is now allowed. Movable atoms will still use a more restrictive approach.

This issue has been resolved.
There are use cases where it makes sense to allow an object to have a turf in its visual contents that will ultimately create a circular reference to the original object. This should be allowed, since the client prevents circular references from ever becoming an issue and turfs are not refcounted so there's no danger of a server-side leak.
