I've read the document, or the relevant section.

Yes, it seems I was inaccurate about the compatibility - the names of the struct and fields need to match across translation units, not just the types of the fields.  That's why it is important that /you/ read the standard.
Tim was, as usual in these matters, entirely correct as far as I can see.  I don't see how he could be considered "half-right" here.  Tim has a communication style that some people find grating (to put it mildly), but there is no question that his knowledge of the C standards is outstanding.
