Craig Burley will have to answer that properly when he returns from
holiday.

However, g77 isn't trying to enforce rules as such; that's just one of
the things not required by the f77 standard which haven't been
implemented along with other desirable ones listed in the manual,
sorry.  I don't know how difficult it is, but work on such language
extensions has been discouraged for a long time, pending a re-write of
the compiler which hasn't happened yet...  It would probably get done
for money, of course.
