Hmm... now that I think about it, I think `make_pure_string` may get us
there, because the string's content is allocated from the end without
any alignment!

And the backtrace shows we're hashing the string `DndProtocol` which
comes from `lisp/x-dnd.el` which is indeed preloaded, so I think that's
what's going on.
