I know I am late.

What about:

let to_array h =
  let res = ref [||] in
  let rec assign = ref (fun i x ->
			  res := Array.make (Hashtbl.length h) x;
			  !res.(i) <- x;
			  assign := Array.set !res) in
  ignore (Hashtbl.fold (fun k v i -> !assign i (k, v); i+1) h 0);
  !res;;

Sorry if it has already been proposed (but I have not seen it).
