I'm not disputing what it says, but you are trying to assign a meaning
which does not exist.

You're overlooking "external linkage"; 5.1.2.3p10:

       [#10] Alternatively, an implementation might perform various
       optimizations within each translation unit,  such  that  the
       actual  semantics  would  agree  with the abstract semantics
       only when making  function  calls  across  translation  unit
       boundaries.   In such an implementation, at the time of each
       function  entry  and  function  return  where  the   calling
       function   and   the   called   function  are  in  different
       translation units,  the  values  of  all  externally  linked
       objects  and  of all objects accessible via pointers therein
       would agree with the abstract  semantics.   Furthermore,  at
       the  time  of  each  such  function  entry the values of the
       parameters  of  the  called  function  and  of  all  objects
       accessible   via  pointers  therein  would  agree  with  the
       abstract semantics.  In this type of implementation, objects
       referred  to  by interrupt service routines activated by the
       signal function  would  require  explicit  specification  of
       volatile  storage,  as  well as other implementation-defined
       restrictions.
