Update that may resolve your open question. Your summary ended with:
That hunch looks right. #8333 (now merged) found and fixed exactly that path: So the remaining source was an unrooted register, not a stale table. Worth Two things from my earlier review still stand if you take this further:

When a shape keys array dies and the arena recycles its address for a different object type (closure, string, …), the dead-owner predicate sees the live recycled tenant's FORWARDED flag and reports the address as alive. The stale shape indices/descriptors entry persists, and gc_keys_array_slot refreshes the object's keys_array mirror from the stale descriptor — pointing it at a non-array object whose forwarding record leads the slot visitor to the wrong survivor. Property lookups on the affected receiver read the wrong shape and return undefined, which cascades to Object.getPrototypeOf(undefined) and throws. Three fixes: 1. prune_dead_shape_keys: verify the object at the keys-array address is actually GC_TYPE_ARRAY/GC_TYPE_LAZY_ARRAY. If a different type holds the address (recycled), the keys array is dead — prune the entry regardless of what is_dead_owner says about the new tenant. 2. scan_shape_table_rekey_mut: during the rewrite phase, after the forwarding-record rekey pass, scan for indices/descriptors entries whose key address has a FORWARDED header with a non-array obj_type. Remove them — the keys array died and the address was recycled. 3. gc_keys_array_slot: when refreshing the keys_array mirror from the descriptor's keys field, skip the refresh if the descriptor's keys address holds a FORWARDED non-array object. This prevents the slot visitor from following the wrong forwarding record during the copy/drain phase (before the scanner can clean up the stale entry). Seeds 8, 11, 22 under PERRY_GC_SCHEDULE_SEED + PERRY_GC_SCHEDULE_RATE=0.05 previously crashed with TypeError: Cannot convert undefined or null to object during node-machine-id init. The shape tables now show zero stale entries after these fixes.

Validate the keys-array type after every metadata rewrite. A stale address can be rewritten through a forwarded non-array object to a destination that is not forwarded. Both paths then retain invalid shape metadata.
