No, it's not. The problem is: __def_init_MAIN___t2 is declared as SAVE in
gfc_find_derived_vtab. Therefore it's allocatable components do not get
default-initialized to NULL. However, if we don't give it the SAVE attribute,
we get:
Error: Pointer initialization target at (1) must have the SAVE attribute
Because the def_init symbol is used as pointer init target for the vtab.
:(
