   Norm Cohen has explained why the exception is raised by the assignment
of the record aggregate.  The Ada standard makes the point explicit in
paragraph 5.2.1(5):

        The implicit subtype conversion described [in 5.2.1(1..4)] for
        assignment to an array variable is performed only for the value
        of the right-hand side expression as a whole; it is not performed
        for subcomponents that are array values.
