Hi!
Inspired by your hacking, I hacked some more:-)
Regarding the result:

I managed to recreate this error also, when I declared the procedure in the
package body and _not_ declaring it in the package specification part.
If I declare it in the spec part, the error "prefix must statically denote a
remote subprogram" disappeared. It is in that way I have programmed it in my
original source code, this is just a lobotomized version of a program that I
am going to send to report@gnat.com to show them a easy example
of my problem.

I am not quite sure I understand this paragraph, are you saying that you
commented out a change in the source code, saved and the compilator still
reported the errors from the commented code???

Regarding:

I have recreated this situation, further:
My impression is that if I move the declaration of the dummy function
_above_ the procedure REGISTER the compilation-hang disappeares.
Or if there is a declaration of it in the spec part of the package the
problem disappeares.
