I think the standard is very clear about the state of padding bytes
[6.2.6.1#6]:
When a value is stored in an object of structure or union type,
including in a member object, the bytes of the object representation
that correspond to any padding bytes take unspecified values.
(6.7.8#10 says nothing about the initial value of any padding bytes.)
