Unfortunately, the first error causes the entire line to
be rejected.  Thus, all your variables are implicitly typed
when gfortran tries to continue with processing the file.
AFAIK, gfortran cannot accept a partially correct specification
statement.

If you fix the fatal error, you'll then see the second error.
So, you can view my patch as an all-or-nothing solution.
