I think both programs are invalid and should be rejected.

The error message for the first one is misleading, to say the least. I don't
quite understand it either.

Note: "integer, pointer :: a(:)" defines a pointer to an array, and not an
array of pointers. Therefore "a(0:0)" is an element (or rather an array
section) of the array which is pointed to by "a". It is not a pointer itself
and can not be used in a pointer assignment context.
