If I force kfence to return 4K sized allocations for everything, the
warnings remain. That might suggest that it's not due to a missed
ALIGN.

Is it possible that copies or moves are a problem? E.g. we copy
something from kfence -> non-kfence object (or vice-versa), and
ksize() no longer matches, then things go wrong?
