+Subject: [PATCH 1/2] Clarify in g_object_weak_ref() docs that the callback is
+ called during disposing and not finalizing
+
+This especially has the effect that any GWeakRefs to the object will not
+necessarily be set to NULL yet if called as part of
+g_object_run_dispose() and not as part of g_object_unref().

+Subject: [PATCH 2/2] Handle the case of g_object_run_dispose() in GBinding
+
+When this is called on the source or target, the weak notify of the
+corresponding object is called without the GWeakRef being cleared.
+See https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/glib/-/issues/2266 for that issue.
+
+This means that a strong reference to these zombie objects can be
+retrieved from the GWeakRefs and the previous assumption that this can't
+happen was wrong. Remove the assertion for that accordingly and handle
+this case.
+
+Specifically, all signal handlers and weak notifies of the object are
+already gone and must not be disconnected/removed a second time, or
+otherwise memory corruption would be caused. Instead just set the
+GWeakRef to NULL and handle it otherwise as if the GWeakRef didn't give
+a strong reference to begin with.
+
+Fixes https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/glib/-/issues/2265
