What steps will reproduce the bug?

The test has this subtest:

{
  const buf = Buffer.from('ff0d6f2203666f6f5e007b01', 'hex');

  const des = new v8.DefaultDeserializer(buf);
  des.readHeader();

  const ser = new v8.DefaultSerializer();
  ser.writeHeader();

  ser.writeValue(des.readValue());

  assert.deepStrictEqual(buf, ser.releaseBuffer()); <<< here
  assert.strictEqual(des.getWireFormatVersion(), 0x0d);
}

Where you're asserting that V8's ValueSerializer produces exactly this buffer when you serialize a TypedArray.

Asserting this prevents V8 from upgrading the ValueSerializer format and is generally not very useful.

The guarantee we have though is that you can still deserialize this exact data and you'll get a TypedArray, since the format is backwards-compatible.

What we don't guarantee is that if you serialize the TypedArray again, you'll get this exact buffer back. Note that the buffer contains the ValueSerializer version number (the first 0d right after ff). We don't guarantee that we don't ever upgrade the version.

How often does it reproduce? Is there a required condition?
