The contents are a _different_ value, that's the point - one without a
reference type.  coerce_ref converts the reference to its value.

I do not quite understand why coerce_array is used; I suspect the
contents of an array are checked via the children instead of the
parent.  coerce_array happens to also call coerce_ref.
