CS  5578becomeFwdCopyHash-brp (late November 2003) added this, and uses 
primitive 249 (Interpreter>>#primitiveArrayBecomeOneWayCopyHash)

elementsForwardIdentityTo: otherArray copyHash: copyHash
	"This primitive performs a bulk mutation, causing all pointers to the 
elements of this array to be replaced by pointers to the corresponding 
elements of otherArray.  The identityHashes remain with the pointers rather 
than with the objects so that the objects in this array should still be 
properly indexed in any existing hashed structures after the mutation."
	<primitive: 249>
	self primitiveFailed

But obviously this came out after the official 3.6 release.

The comment in the CS says:
This change has been introduced in the VMMaker3-7a.sar package.

It's hard for me to understand how the 3.6.2 VM could have forseen these 
changes...
