Could one say the former? If so, does it have some difference in meaning?

It sounds like you meant to say tinneas but had a brain fart.

Aye, you can't say "tá tinn orm", it means "there is sick on me", while it should be "tá tinneas orm" (there is a disease on me).

Aye, that error answered it's own question:

dá mbeadh tinneas orm vs. dá mbeadh tinn

Sorry about that!

Of course, but it could have been 'mbeadh sé'; the point was the use of the preposition with a noun and the adjective with a verb!
