 Sorry, but isn't this still needed? 
It isn't.  Look at mark_object().

 We do not have pure space now but isn't that temporary? If the
 portable dumper is ready don't we have read-only objects again and
 thus the need for Vpure_uninterned_symbol_table or generalized
 equivalent to store the symbols these read-only objects refer to? 
I believe read-only objects will use a bit different tactics for GC so 
the hack will not need to be reincarnated.
