This installs the cleanups at the wrong point.
They must be installed before any potential exception is thrown.

That is, the xfree cleanup ought to be created just after initialization;
and the refcount cleanup ought to be created after the refcounts are
incremented.

Also, make_cleanup_thread_refcount is misnamed.
By convention, a "make_cleanup_" function creates a new cleanup.
The function that does the work of cleaning up is given a different name.
