I need to look at this more carefully. Lai might well be right because if we are relying on the cmpxchg() for ordering, there needs to be a memory barrier on the read side to pair with the cmpxchg(). You are of course quite correct in the case where the CPU reading the ->head_tkt is the one that set it up.
