The latest draft says that the size is calculated as if the flexible
array member were omitted, except that there may be more padding than
the omission would imply.

The change was made in a TC to C99, sometime in the early
2000s.  (No I don't know which TC specifically, but the
wording change can be seen in N1256.)
