Previously, we ignored promotion failures when evacuating fields of
a WEAK object. When a failure happens, this resulted in an WEAK object
pointing to another object in a younger generation, causing crashes.

I used the test case from #11746 to check that the fix is working.
However I haven't managed to produce a test case that quickly reproduces
the issue.
