[ocaml5-issue] Assertion failure on live words in GC test

[jmid]

The new Gc test in #469 triggered an assertion failure in Linux debug 5.3.0+trunk:

This one is easily reproducible.
I've commented out the sequential test and can trigger the assertion failure on every run, regardless of the seed:

$ OCAMLRUNPARAM="s=4096,v=0,V=1" dune exec src/gc/stm_tests.exe --profile=debug-runtime -- -v
random seed: 494408706

This is known upstream as a sporadic failure ocaml/ocaml#13090.
I've shared a standalone reproducer on that issue.
