I downloaded gcc from CVS and (after much aggravation due to errors in
the objective c part and the install of cpp.info and gcc.info) I was
able to test the case with g77 version 2.95.3 20010101.  This solved the
problem: the output was as it should be.  I assume this will also be the
case in the next release.

Still, it bothers me a little that the problem "went away" without being
addressed directly (though I suppose I do not know this for sure).  Is
it possible that the symptom was cured while the underlying cause
remains?  I guess it would just "feel better" to know why the problem
occurred in the first place.  In any case, thanks for your quick
response and attention to the issue.
