There is potentially a problem with the ambiguity check for TBP of the form

  procedure, nopass :: baseproc_nopass => baseproc
  procedure, pass   :: baseproc_pass => baseproc 

That is: Both TBP point to the same procedure, though through the PASS and
NOPASS they should be distinguishable.

It is a bit unclear whether this is valid - also Richard Maine is confused ;-)
One might want to ask at J3 - maybe up to an interpretation request.

Janus' example (cf. also below) should be truly ambiguous:

module mod

  type base_t
  contains
    procedure, nopass :: baseproc_nopass => baseproc1
    procedure, pass   :: baseproc_pass => baseproc2
    generic           :: some_proc => baseproc_pass, baseproc_nopass
  end type

contains

  subroutine baseproc1 (this)
    class(base_t) :: this
    print *, 'baseproc1'
  end subroutine

  subroutine baseproc2 (this,that)
    class(base_t) :: this, that
    print *, 'baseproc2'
  end subroutine

end module

program p
  use mod
  type(base_t) :: t

  call t%some_proc(t)  ! ambiguous!!!
end program
