However, there is a problem with the code changes. The Runnables registered with Cleaner refer to the object being registered ('this'). Meaning, the Cleaner mechanism will keep the objects reachable, preventing them from being cleaned and collected.

Thanks for updating this.
Can a test case be included?
While it doesn't _seem_ like `this` would need to be captured for these lambdas, it's good to be sure -- now, and in the future.
If test code could access a PKCS11 instance, the WeakHashMap technique from [PR 8136](https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/pull/8136#issuecomment-1092881171) could be used. The same goes for P11KeyStore (well, a `PasswordCallbackHandler` instance, in that case).
But I don't know how practical it would be for test code to get access to those objects.
