Interestingly, if you move the initialization into the procedure's body:

[...]
   type Rec is
   record
      f: A_2;
   end record;
   var: Rec;
begin
   var.f := (others => (others => Null_Unbounded_String));
[...]

...then it works. Reading other posts, it definitely looks like a bug
in the compiler. Thanks to all for your answers.
