Weak references are deleted BEFORE the DESTROY method of the object they point to runs?

No. 

$ perl -MScalar::Util=weaken -MDevel::Peek -wE'
   my $y;
   sub DESTROY {
      Dump($y,0);
      Dump($_[0],1);
   }
   {
      my $x = bless({});
      $y = $x;
      weaken($y);
   }

Sorry, no time to look into your code today.

Update: I was misusing weaken. Fixed.
