We discussed this quite a while ago, and I'm still not convinced that
this approach makes sense.

Can you give just one example of a use case where dirtying the whole
bitmap while loading a snapshot is the desired behaviour?

I think the most useful behaviour would be something where the bitmaps
themselves are snapshotted, too. But for the time being, the easiest and
safest solution might just be to error out in any snapshot operations
if any bitmaps are in use.
