Here's maximally reduced test case:

module aa
  type bb
  end type
contains
  function getcc(this)  result(cc)
    class(bb) :: this
    integer,dimension(2) :: cc
  end function
end module

  use aa
  type(bb) :: b1
  print *,getcc(b1)
end


Apparently this PR is a duplicate of PR42051/PR43896 and has supposedly been
fixed by r160622:

The patch looks very simple and it may be feasible to backport it to 4.5.
