The current forwarding scheme that is used during full-GC overrides much of the mark-word. This is a problem for current compact headers when the heap is larger than 8TB (in which case we currently disable compact headers altogether) and becomes a much worse issue with 4-byte-compact-headers, because it would override the compressed class-pointer in the upper header bits.
