JitcodeGlobalTable lookup methods return a copy of the JitcodeGlobalEntry, so when these are marked then any moved pointers will not be updated.  As far as I can tell this only affects the script pointer in BaselineEntry.
Attached patch bug1268083-jitcode-map (obsolete) — Splinter Review
I changed JitcodeGlobalTable::lookupInfallible to return a reference to the entry rather than copying it, and updated callers.

Ugh, good catch.

Should we change these two methods to return a pointer (null on failure)? Or rename to lookupCopy?

Good call, I'll try making them return pointers.
Kannan, in this code in ProfilingFrameIterator::getPhysicalFrameAndEntry:

    jit::JitcodeGlobalTable* table = rt_->jitRuntime()->getJitcodeGlobalTable();
    if (hasSampleBufferGen())
        table->lookupForSampler(returnAddr, entry, rt_, sampleBufferGen_);
    else
        table->lookupInfallible(returnAddr, entry, rt_);

I just wanted to check, is lookupForSampler infallible too?  It's assumed to succeed here.

[Security approval request comment]
How easily could an exploit be constructed based on the patch?  Very difficult.  I haven't see a crash due to this but it is possible.

Do comments in the patch, the check-in comment, or tests included in the patch paint a bulls-eye on the security problem? No.

Which older supported branches are affected by this flaw? 48 is affected.

If not all supported branches, which bug introduced the flaw? Bug 1122579.

Do you have backports for the affected branches? If not, how different, hard to create, and risky will they be? The same patch should apply.

How likely is this patch to cause regressions; how much testing does it need? Unlikely to cause regressions.
