I believe your are wrong here.
For dynamic arrays, service data is located at negative offset and pointer itself _is_ zero element address.

type
   TIntArray = array of Integer;

var v:TIntArray;
begin
   SetLength(v,100);
   Writeln(NativeInt(Pointer(v)) = NativeInt(Pointer(@v[0]))); // always gives true
end.
