Yeah, that was kind of my meaning:
The only way it could happen would be through
* memory corruption
* intentional manipulation of the structure
both of which would make it hard to guarantee that the data had been
"committed to the target system memory".

Anyway, it's not a hard requirement, more of a discussion point.
