guiand added a comment.
In an email conversation with @rsmith and @eugenis, they raised the issue that
it's not necessarily wrong to pass aggregate types by value, even when some
fields are uninit.
A relevant excerpt from Richard:

From this, it's probably best for now not to mark aggregate types `frozen`.
There's potentially some means to have the compiler prove aggregates must be
frozen, but it's best to land frozen scalars first. And for the purposes of
msan at least, scalars can account for the majority of the optimizations coming
out of frozen.
