Is there a regression test which would fail if this kind of problem crops up?
Not every developer can test every type of hardware but (aside from believing
the code will work of course) we should at a minimum be certain that the build
farm will detect the problem.

No, I didn't. But I don't see how it would make a difference, the
resulting memory layout is the same AFAICS.

Did you check it on 64-bit boxes with strict alignment? I remember that was a 
headache for me.
