Your formula is legal TLA+, that's why SANY (I guess that's what you call the "compiler") accepts it. TLC expects you to write
because it interprets Foo' as a formula to evaluate over the next state, which it has not constructed yet. Look at chapter 14 of Specifying Systems,
and in particular section 14.2.6 for a discussion on how TLC computes states.

Hello again, in the example below I want to use Foo' to mean
a'=1 /\ b'=2. The compiler accepts this but TLC complains. Why is that?VARIABLE a,b
Foo == a=1 /\ b=2
Init == Foo
Next == Foo /\ Foo'
Spec == Init /\ [][Next]_<<a,b>>
TLC complains
TLC threw an unexpected exception.
This was probably caused by an error in the spec or model.
See the User Output or TLC Console for clues to what happened.
The exception was a java.lang.RuntimeException
:
In evaluation, the identifier a is either undefined or not an operator.
