There are quite a few things that are non-bug related that can cause eventual OOM with
permgen on a web container redeployment.

I suspect the one that will most likely bite Seam users is the DriverManager
"leak". I don't know what, if any, app servers handle these cases for you.
Having said all that there is a bug in the Sun Server JVM that causes the permgen size to
be larger than it should be but it doesn't leak over time.
See:

There was a ClassLoader leak bug once upon a time but this have been fixed and backported
to 1.4 and 1.5
