If you add

character(9) s
s=2.ip.8

gfortran, and g95, compile successfully.

On the contrary gfortran fails to parse

write(6,fmt=2.ip.8)

To me, it looks like the parser does not handle correctly the format
specification as a default-char-expression defined in fortran 95 R913

By the way, the following fails as well, should I open a new bug?

write(6,fmt=1_'()')

Again, in my opinion, recursive I/O, allowed or not, has nothing to do with
parsing format specifications.
