It looks like you're right.
I had an undergrad senior thesis in 2006 that futzed around with regions and borrowing, and I know I read some papers on their interactions, but I'm not immediately finding anything chasing references.
edit: Of course, I don't mean to diminish the accomplishments of Rust, which had turned these moving parts into a working language. In particular, Rust makes it easy to ignore these issues most of the time.

I prefer letting academia blaze the intellectual trail, and then have a number of people implement it after. :)
