The trick is to assign a new value to the whole object, and not just a
component of it:

   for Item of V2 loop
      Item := (Value => 0);
   end loop;

I'm not sure exactly why there is a difference.

It might be.  I don't understand the indefinite containers well enough to
be able to explain what happens.
