Ideally I could provide my own copy constructor and assignment
operator for foo_struct, nonetheless, I'm more interested in whether
the use of std::swap on the composite ( non-POD types ) makes the
program ill-formed?

No.
The effect is the same as
foo_struct temp;
temp = fs1; fs1 = fs2; fs2 = temp;
which just uses the compiler-generated copy assignment operator.
