Why leave it in as a placeholder at all?

Good question. I did so because of the "common header with
Interp_Context" comment in struct Parrot_Context. It didn't seem to be
vestigial, and in any case I wasn't sure how to test that, so I left it
alone.

Yep. And this common header is actually used in e.g.
mark_register_stack. But we could move e.g. C<caller_ctx> there and safe
one word of context space.
