Comment (by simonmar):

 Good catch.

 Simon, I think the answer to your question is that you can't construct
 that example, because compiled code cannot depend on interpreted code.

 Still, we should really respect the pointer tagging invariants both in
 compiled and interpreted code, so I agree this is a bug.
