A cross platform dump and load (XPDL) scenario applies when going from big endian to little endian (eg, AIX to WIndows), or little endian to big endian (eg, Linux to Solaris/SPARC).
You've stated that you're going from Windows to Linux, but since this is little endian to little endian this is not considered a XPDL scenario, therefore the document snippet you've posted does not apply. And as you've already figured out with your test, you *can* perform 'dump/load transaction' when going between little endian servers.
