The real problem is a violation of LRM:3.7(13).
Both compilers will accept the code below.
package foo is
    type t is abstract tagged null record;
    type i (f : access t'class) is abstract tagged limited null record;
    type n is new t with null record;
    type a_n is access all n'class;
    type r (f : a_n) is new i (f) with null record;
end foo;
