we in leipzig were using that feature for years with openwrt
white-russian. the config within linksys hardwrae was saved in nvram.
remembering old times: that was very nice, even when ONE node in the
mesh had newest current firmware there was no need for using that poor
internet connection anymore (for updating all other nodes.)
we did this f.i. via webinterface,
look at https://twitter.com/rundfreifunk/status/426087173721714688/photo/1
and we were differencing between some hardware models..
i had a talk with jow some weeks ago asking the same question:
yes, we should be very sceptical, according to all these hardware and
differencies.
but, maybe it could be even possible? if we limit that feature only for
some of these tplink models we use regularly?
greetings, ufo

IMHO copying bit-by-bit is a big mistake because the
flash roms of the
routers can be different and there are some parameters (such as the MAC
addresses) which cannot be used in another router.
I don't know about this White-Russian feature, but the current OpenWRT
AA/BB versions have a "Download backup" button which generates a tar.gz
of the overlay directory. So if you install the a new (fresh) binary in
the new router and you copy the tar.gz content to /overlay. You should
end-up with the same configuration.

Hello, I remember first times with Freifunk
firmware (OpenWrt White Russian):
They put in main web page a link with a direct download of image that was working in same
router. I suposse that it was generated from binaries when you click on.
I think is a very good tool to make network bigger with same routers (you don't need
to connect to any place to get firmware). Do you know about that?
I think we can put it on libre-mesh (and also I need it now to make easy an exact copy
from one of our libre-mesh routers here in Garraf).
