I'm not sure I understand what is interesting about it.  JSON parsing
is implemented in C, but it creates Lisp objects (a lot of them), and
thus GC during that processing should not be unexpected.

Of course, if you want to make sure the GC in this case indeed only
reclaims Lisp objects produced by JSON parsing, and is not related to
the native code itself, that's a good thing to check.
