Therefore foreign-primitive can do allocation in the nursery, but foreign-lambda can't. However, foreign-lambda could still allocate directly in the second generation heap or transfer nursery-allocated values directly into the heap upon return before the stack context is destroyed. The question is whether such magic is present for foreign-safe-lambda, as the documentation may indicate, or whether that is not the case, as Felix has indicated with his earlier message :-)
I think such magic may exist, or I'm extraordinarily lucky. Objects I was constructing inside of a foreign-safe-lambda call were sitting at top-level in application instances that were running for quite an extended time, and themselves were frequently referenced. (IE, a foreign-safe-lambda constructed Color would be referenced as the clear-color repeatedly).
