All of my quinces seem to do that - hold at least some leaves a long time.
It has never caused a problem and I don't know why it would interfere with
accumulating chill hours. In short, forget about it. The ones in gravel
probably got a little drier and mild water stress helped them lose leaves
more rapidly.
