Yes you can. So I too suspect you get the size wrong or something.

But it should be easy to test. In frame_of_value() print the values to
stderr and run it before and after a GC.compact. You may want to
allocate and forget some stuff before creating the bigarray to make sure
it moves. When you see the bigarray itself move but all the other frame
values remain constant you have shown it works.
