Parallel GC and array object layout: way off the base and laid out in reverse?

The referenced objects in the array are the leaves in reachability
graph. I thought there is no difference in depth- vs. breadth-first in
this case? It looks more like we record the traversed objects on some
LIFO structure, which polls the elements in the reverse order.
