Isn't there a standard section that mentions that some flavor of sequence-of-char storage must have alignment suitable for any natural alignment on the platform?

Yes, this is a requirement for pointers returned by malloc and ::operator new. Structure's alignment is the largest alignment of its members. Array's alignment is the alignment of the array element.
