as it happens I'm just about to commit a patch which deals with the
intent checking. Although this problem was known to me up to now only
as PR40039 (which clearly means I should do a more extensive search
for existing bugs on bugzilla the next time I submit a PR).

For the patch see:

http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/fortran/2009-05/msg00209.html

It has already been approved, and I plan to commit it later today
(after fixing some line break issues). I guess I will also include
your example code as a test case.

Actually this is not as hard as many people seem to assume. If you
need any help compiling GCC, I'd be happy to assist you.
