I think it doesn't work. Emacs needs that table and the other
mapping char-tables to decode non-ascii characters in files
that are loaded before dumping.

Once Emacs loads it before dumping, it occupies Emacs memory
and whether it is freed or not before dumping is
unpredictable.
If it is impossible to exlucde garbage-colleted data
(especially char-tables) from the dumpled file, it seems
that the only way is not to build those char-tables. But it
requires rather heavy changes to files loaded before dumped.
Anoher way to avoid this problem is, I think, to have a
portable dumper.
