Ok found something...

I tried debugging, and noted that with the class var, the record had no 
debug info for any field.
And expecting memory did not reveal any data, if wrote to other fields.

"class var" seems to start a section, like "public type"

So all 3 fields in your example are class vars.

Try the below:

type
   TMyRec = record
     class var
        z: UInt32;
     var  // new section, normal fields // tested 3.3.1
       x, y: UInt32;
   end;
