There may be some agent (in)discretion here. While the participating member country isn't required to grant access to the transitional members' citizens without a traditional visa, there is nothing in the ABTC agreement that prevents them from doing so (local law may be another matter...). Personally, I wouldn't count on it happening, but I certainly wouldn't complain if it did!
