I've grown curious about Bak's implementation of Smalltalk (OOVM A/S) that was mentioned in this article. Has anyone here had a chance to tinker with it?

Unfortunately not. afaik the technology disappeared into Java focused Esmertec.

There are a few papers and slide-decks:

"Design, implementation, and evaluation of the Resilient Smalltalk embedded platform" ====> http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/download?doi=10.1.1.84....

"A New Approach to Developing Robust Embedded Software" ====> http://lore.ua.ac.be/Events/VM/BE.pdf

Kasper Lund's thesis is about OOVM and it goes into great detail about all sorts of parts of it:
