The man page says it does, and that does seem to be true:
$ rmdir /tmp/a /tmp/b
$ printf '--dir\0/tmp/a\0' > a
$ printf '--dir\0/tmp/b\0' > b
$ bwrap --dev-bind / / --args 3 --args 4 ls /tmp 3<a 4<b
(output contains a and b)
So I think opt_args_data might need to become a linked list, or some other mechanism that keeps all of the arguments blobs referenced so that static analyzers know they are OK to "leak" once per process.

Eeek. This is why we have code review! It looks like at least flatpak (the main user of --args) is only appending it once, and for some reason I convinced myself the code was only designed to run once, but you're clearly right.

#428
and then will rework this to be a linked list or strv after that lands.

The code supports this today, so test it. xref containers#426 where I thought it didn't.
