Confirmed on sparc-solaris. Further reduced testcase:

$ cat pr22048.f 
      implicit character*8 (z)
      z = ''
      print *, z(1:3)
      end 
$ gfortran pr22048.f
 In file pr22048.f:3

      print *, z(1:3)                                                   
               1
Error: Syntax error in PRINT statement at (1)


This error go away if z is explicitly typed, or the line "z = ''" is removed.
