One could retire those LABs once again at final update refs, but that would be inefficient. An alternative defensive and robust fix is to exclude regions that contain any TLAB or GCLAB from promotion. This should not restrict promotions much, because regions tend to fill up as they age and eventually they won't have LABs.
