The example is illustrative enough: all the array needs to be misaligned in practice is a small value on the stack near it, e.g. if the Rust code has `let x: u8 = 1;` inserted after the array (or, I imagine, `uint8_t x = 1;` in the C, etc.), then the array's address is odd.

Why would it be? I tried it with msvc and it always manages to put arrays in stack frames at 8 byte boundaries. I can't see why a compiler would not do that.
