I don't think that this is the best idea. You are later stopping refcounting anyway. But I can imagine that you might present an SV with a refcount to (GC-unaware, unmodified) XS code.
It is not the best idea, but it is a temporary solution to the problem ;), we need somewhere to store the flags for the time being and we want to get rid of the SV head.
And yes, I see a refcount happening outside the core and internally we use the parrot GC.
