What is the mechanism which would cause an avgas/avtur mixture to trash the compression?

Detonation (I have no idea if that happens in this case) would eventually cause various damage but would not, AIUI, cause cylinder scoring.

It would overheat the valves (exhaust valves especially) and mess up the compression that way - that I can see.
