By writing code that should return an error from the 
compiler but doesn't.

Yes it is.  Forget ISO C, the language definition I know as K&R
doesn't allow nonsense like applying structure member tags to
non-structures.  Or for that matter, applying structure member
tags to structures that do not contain that member, which IIRC
is another PCC bug.

And please leave off with the advocacy.  It's tiring.
