If I try to bump mock-array frequency from 8000ps to 1000ps, I get detailed placement errors.

How do I find out which nets detailed placement is failing for?

Was this after the abutment PR?  If so you should retry again after https://github.com/The-OpenROAD-Project/OpenROAD-flow-scripts/pull/1221 as that opens up rows in the core.
