Description
### Describe the enhancement requested
#14488 / #33336 are about an issue where we fail to handle unaligned buffers properly. We should see if we can test for these kinds of issues more systematically. For example: maybe we could run tests under an allocator that intentionally misaligns allocations.

Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reading issues #14488 and #33336 to understand the unaligned-buffer failures and the expected coverage. Then identify the existing C++ allocation and test infrastructure; done means tests systematically detect incorrect handling of intentionally misaligned buffers, with the scope and allocator approach agreed.
