No it shouldn't :-)
When there is no marking bitmap, it should happily fall back to
size-based iteration.

The issue here is that we're encountering a humongous continuation, and
marked_object_iterate() cannot handle it.

This modification puts an assert in marked_object_iterate() and skips
humongous continuations. (They will be processed by the oop_iterate()
call in the humongous start anyway).
