Good catch. I've implemented this and added a few tests for it.

Not that I can see. When any successful argument value is parsed, it is
added to the event_location, which has a cleanup on it which will free
any defined members when an exception occurs.
The only two functions (in this loop) that could throw an exception are
explicit_location_lex_one and linespec_parse_line_offset.
In the former case, the option name has a cleanup when parsing the
value. The value is either saved into the event_location or discarded if
we are going to throw an exception.
linespec_parse_line_offset can throw an error (GENERIC_ERROR), but it is
already caught and memory for oarg is freed. Nothing can generate a
RETURN_QUIT as far as I can tell. Did you have a case specifically in mind?
