But actually that doesn't help, markers pointing to nowhere are not
removed from buffer-undo-list by garbage-collect.

`add-to-history' has no relevance here, no.  There mere existence of a
marker in any buffer does, IIUC, cause it to be referenced by
buffer-undo-list sooner or later, because undoing and redoing inside
text containing a marker is not always without ambiguity regarding
marker positioning, so the undo system adds hints to buffer-undo-list
how these markers must be placed/repositioned.
