It's just a bug:
4894692 caching data in heap inflates crash dump
I'd like to see it fixed, too; in addition to making crash dumps huge,
it also extends downtime (and thus reduces availability) for
large-configuration systems because of the time required to move the
data to disk as part of the dump.
