I assume that MPS is not being used to allocate any of Emacs's own objects, as copying collectors are incompatible with Emacs's habit of squirreling away pointers inside integers.It's excactly that, a (mostly) copying collector for Emacs :-).
Since Emacs uses a conservative collector, how can MPS move Emacs objects? MPS can't know which words are pointers and which are not, so it can't update pointers when Emacs objects move.
