Concrete playback feature generates tests that fail Kani assertions

I came across some scenarios where concrete playback in Kani generates tests that fail assertions in Kani, instead of the code being analyzed. This seems to be mismatch in expected deterministic values captured in the Kani verifier failures.

This was reproduced in the following test file. Reproduced in simple test file included below.  

The two errors encountered are:
* assertion `left == right` failed
* Not enough det vals found

This occurred on:

```shell
$ rustup show 
[...]

active toolchain
----------------

nightly-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu (default)
rustc 1.85.0-nightly (c26db435b 2024-12-15)
```
(same results with stable)

```
$ cargo kani --version

cargo-kani 0.56.0
```
Test file: `main.rs`
```rust
use std::result::Result;

pub static mut buffer: [u8; MEM_SIZE] = [0; MEM_SIZE];
pub const MEM_BASE: *mut u8 = unsafe{buffer.as_mut_ptr()};
pub const MEM_SIZE: usize = 0x100;


#[derive(Debug)]
pub enum err {
    err_1,
    err_2,
}

fn test(num: u8) -> Result<u8,err> {
    match num {
        0 => Ok(num),
        _ => Err(err::err_1),
    }
}

#[kani::proof]
fn main() {

    let mut newbuf: [u8; MEM_SIZE] = kani::any();
    unsafe{buffer.clone_from(&newbuf)};

    /*for i in (0..unsafe{buffer.len()-1}){
        unsafe{buffer[i] = kani::any()};
    }*/

    let size: usize = kani::any();
    println!("\nabc {:?}", unsafe{buffer[size]});
}

    let a = test(unsafe{*MEM_BASE}).expect("error");

Small aside, I know this feature is experimental, but with `--visualize` being deprecated, is there any other recommended means of tracing errors in more complex code bases?
