Ah.  You should not do that then.  For example, the foreign
interface's implementation of add-ptr keeps a pointer + integer offset
field.  When it is referenced, there is a way to tell xform that the
pointer arithmetic operation is ok -- see the source for details.

If the code is dealing with Scheme objects directly, you will need to
go through mzc.  Otherwise, values will move around, but your pointers
will not be updated.
