i finally found Paul's mail corresponding to patch revision
86128: http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/fortran/2004-08/msg00102.html

There he explains the presence of the NULL:
> For each entry point we generate a thunk function which tailcalls the master 
> functions, passing NULL for any arguments which don't exist for that 
> function.

That seems to be the reason for his change in

* trans-array.c (gfc_trans_dummy_array_bias): Treat all args as
        optional when multiple entry points are present.

which I copied for my patch.
