runtime: be very careful with bad pointer tests

Saw this on a test:

runtime: bad pointer in frame runtime_test.testSetPanicOnFault at 0xc20801c6b0: 0xfff
fatal error: bad pointer!

runtime stack:
...

This test is testing bad pointers.  It loads the bad pointer into a pointer variable,
but before it gets a chance to dereference it, calls convT2E.  That call causes a stack copy,
which exposes that live but bad pointer variable.
