Ada 2005 AI's are issues with Ada 2005, not issues with earlier language versions that are corrected in Ada 2005. Or, sometimes, they're issues with earlier Ada 2005 AI's. In this particular case, an issue with another Ada 2005 AI resulted in the syntax of extended_return_statement being changed (it now involves an extended_return_object_declaration), a change that went into Ada 2012, and something got dropped when making the change even though the rest of the change got added to Ada 2012. Hope that helps explain things.
