The MI manual says the "creation size advisory is 4KB". Most of the
allocations I do are much smaller than that (although the ones with the bug
are little less than 4096). Any ideas on why the advisory?

The MI text is just trying to indicate that the default heap creation size,
which is an advisory value and not guaranteed to be provided exactly, is 4
KB. No CRTHSS is done for the default heap, so there is no opportunity to
specify the initial creation size. Heaps are automatically extended, so you
are free to use more storage than 4 KB. However, if one's code were using
e.g. 2 MB allocations, odds are good that performance would be better if
some heap other than the default were used, and created with an initial
size much closer to 2 MB.
