Hmm... I'm afraid I can't follow this.  Could you provide some details?

How/where exactly do they get squashed?

The printer is normally able to preserve this info (printing #:<foo>
instead of <foo> for uninterned symbols and using #= and such the refer
to exactly that symbol) when printing code into the .elc file, so I'm
wondering why it gets lost when going through the native compiler.
