That there are allocations is odd.

One slide says for some roms: No crash is triggered whatsoever as the ROM is deterministic enough that the buffer is reallocated in the same place every time upon USB stack initialization.

We aren't looking at the code, but "deterministic reallocation" or just static storage class? Seems like dynamic memory allocation was introduced recently into this rom. And why is a good question.
