Merely pointing to an invalid address will not produce UB (undefined behavior)
I linked you to the gc #wontfix list, it's explicitly the magic words "UB".
Idk what's actually happens(ub isn't a useful distinction), someone would have to extensively test it, but it's expressly not "do whatever" someone must've tried the xor linked list and found it doesn't work in some case.
An invalid pointer outside common use patterns could confuse the GC and some invalid pointers are *known* to confuse the GC(they should've keep the code rather then their wontfix list *tsk*)
