Comment (by Olly Betts):

 I've hit on this approach, which seems to work in tests with PHP so far,
 and can be neatly wrapped up in a macro (perhaps just done by the existing
 `SUBCLASSABLE` macro):

 {{{
 %typemap(in) (Xapian::FieldProcessor* proc) %{
 $typemap(in, Xapian::FieldProcessor* DISOWN)
 {
   Swig::Director* xapian_swig_director =
 dynamic_cast<Swig::Director*>($1);
   if (xapian_swig_director) xapian_swig_director->swig_disown();
 }
 $1->release();
 %}
 }}}

 I'm not actually sure if the special handling for director classes is
 needed.
