"So really most of our confusion is stemming from the fact that the
pointer value does seem to be the same and is not changing ..."

Grasping at straws here - but are you sure it is still a valid pointer? If
the area of memory containing the pointer was written by anything other than
a pointer instruction, the contents of the pointer memory may be unchanged,
but the tag bit will have been reset and so the pointer would no longer be
valid.
