It used to be called when the objects were popped and then followed, but it was changed so that the function where called immediately when the objects are marked. This gave the benefit that the verification code code show exactly what root had a broken object. Unfortunately, this change started to apply non-GC closure during the root iteration. This code lead to lock order issues, just like the one described in the JBS entry.
