I´m having a very hard time imagining a case where that would break real-world code.
Apparently, when the linker sees the input it will synthesize an definition for incomplete (this is require for a valid CLR image).
Now, in this example the implementation of get_handle uses a reference to the value type incomplete to form a managed type signature. What the compiler does is to create a ValueType for each native type (it doesn't really emit members, however. Rather it just does its own binary layout - after all it must interface to its generated native code - and just inform the CLR about the alignment and size to reserve). What you get is a typical case of something like this:
