Last night a player opened 2C out of turn. (Blue Book compliant). She was third to speak and it was not accepted. Her partner then decided to pass a 12-count, as he vaguely understood the bit about "comparable call" and thought bidding would silence his partner. [...]

Dealer should be informed that whatever call he makes in his turn to call his partner will not be silenced. He (dealer) is the player who may be silenced at his next turn to call

Isn't that why he chose to pass? He was worried that whatever partner bid would not be comparable, so then he would be barred. Which means partner would be effectively forced to set the final contract on his response to the 1NT opening.
Probably the only comparable call after the 1NT opening would be a leap to slam. If it's the wrong strain, opener probably can't judge it, so even if he's not technically barred by that bid, he'll almost certainly have to pass.
NO!
OP clearly tells us that he (the dealer) was misinformed about who might be silenced and was worried that it could be his partner.
(It could be
him at
his next turn to call, but never his partner i.e. the offender)
