You made the moved-to pointer point to the moved-from allocated heap data. Now nothing points to the heap data that was initially allocated by the moved-to object. So if you don't delete[] the moved-to data pointer, then you leaked 32 bytes of heap.

What happens when the program exits?

Then it doesn't matter. It matters if you run out of heap before the program exits, though.
