Hmm.  Yes it does.  caml_alloc_tuple() calls caml_alloc() which
initialises with Val_unit everywhere.

It is only caml_alloc_small() which doesn't allocate, and potentially
ends up with garbage.

Do you have details of the crash?  I think it ought to be a plain
NULL(ish) deference from trying to interpret Val_unit as a pointer.
