Will be interesting to see how many (and which) corporations move headquarters to get around this.

This is the wrong target. Large companies are generally fine with these sorts of laws. It's the small companies who now have another of ten million disclosure laws they have to follow, laws which vary from county to county.

What “small” company is hiring employees in so many countries that it’s burdensome to publish wages on their website.
Any company that wants to be "worldwide remote". You have to post the info before you hire, so if you if want to hire anywhere in the world you have to meet the requirements for every country. Even if you only end up hiring from a couple countries
So all remote jobs will have to post salaries if they want any hires from NYC?

Sounds good to me.

Can you think of a single example of a company for which moving headquarters might make sense because of this law?

Remember that it applies only to salary (not total compensation) and it applies to jobs done in NYC, not jobs done for companies whose headquarters are in NYC.
