Oops. Well, I've managed to simplify the reproducer to

procedure Alloc2 is
    type Grid is array (Positive range <>, Positive range <>) of Integer with
       Dynamic_Predicate => Grid'First (1) = 1 and Grid'First (2) = 1;

    type Grid_Ptr is access Grid;

    Data : Grid_Ptr := new Grid (1 .. 10, 1 .. 20);
begin -- Alloc2
    null;
end Alloc2;

which results in

alloc2.adb:7:23: error: invalid use of subtype mark in expression or call

Line 7 is the declaration of Data.
