Something _is_ being done, AFAIU.  If you step through dump_field_lv,
you will see that it dumps a placeholder (0xDEADF00D) instead of the
actual value, and records a "fixup" to be processed later.  When the
fixup is processed, it schedules a "relocation", which AFAIU is
supposed to replace the placeholder with the offset of the actual Lisp
object in the dump file.  So the machinery seems to be in place, it
just doesn't work somehow in this case...
