Although the courtesy copy does say that it can not be used to establish filing or processing action, I have heard of nobody who was turned away at passport stamping time because all they had with them was the courtesy copy. In my case, in fact, the only thing that the officer looked at was the A- number, which he verified on his computer terminal.
The explanation that I can think of as to why courtesy copies are accepted for passport stamping is that basically the officer wants to establish your identity (your passport suffices for that) and the fact that your application has indeed been approved (your courtesy copy, bearing your A- number, and EAD card(s), bearing both your picture and your A- number suffice for this) before he can process you for an I-551. Once they verify via your passport and EAD photos that you are indeed the applicant, and via their computer using your A- number that your case has indeed been approved, there is no reason for them not to place the stamp on your passport unless they deliberately want to harass you specifically for some specific reason.. highly unlikely
Wish you all the best!
