What is meant by the comparison table on the struct page, when it is said
that classes can have hidden members, whereas structs cannot, and at the
same time, structs can have member protection. That is, what is the meaning
of hidden members and member protection respectively, seen in conjunction
with each other?

That would be my guess. 

struct: If you don't say to put it there, it's not there. 
Class: no such luck, class vtbl + interface vtbl's + mutex + whatever W wants
