Even if only the implementation changes -- specifically, the class's memory layout -- that will cause a binary incompatibility, especially since STL is all templates. It seems the debug vs. release versions of MSVC's STL are not even binary compatible, so being compatible between two versions of MSVC seems doubtful.
