I don't see the problem, at least not in this example.  The call to
make-timestamp will do exactly what you describe, unless "loaded"
means "fasload'ed" and not "load'ed"...

If make-timestamp is a record constructor, you have bigger problems
than re-interning the fasloaded copies.  You first have to fasdump
objects with record-types, methods, things that
reference... everything.  Cut THOSE cords, and the fasload problem
might just go away.
