It took me a while to unwrap your question. Actually, think of it as an invariant. We should never have reference typed value regions wrapped by subregions. This is checked/enforced by how we create subregions (see the asserts).

The second is, how can we end up with such subregions. I think the only way is by field regions. If we had something that I missed, the assert would catch it.

Do you have something in mind?
