Thank you for the explanation. We have nothing further to patch in this respect, then. :-) ...unless there's ever a reason to allow to fully disable NSE from the command-line. With the current 3 scripts, the memory consumption is not high (I've just tested, on a single target host though), but maybe as the number of "version" scripts grows, there will be a need to allow for disabling them.
