Still clear as mud... I'll have to give this more time to think over.

That's what I was suspecting. It appears you're re-inventing certain
aspects of serialization/deserialization and that might come in handy
for a lot more things. For starters, if it was built-in into Emacs that
whole business of dumping a bootstrapped Emacs and doing horrible things
to the resulting file to be able to get it back to life would probably
become uneccesary...
