I indeed missed something. Further down in 9.6.3 one finds: "If a derived-type list item is not processed by a defined input/output procedure and is not treated as a list of its individual components, all the subcomponents of that list item shall be accessible in the scoping unit containing the input/output statement and shall not be pointers or allocatable." So, pointer components are indeed forbidden. All that's left to do here is to also reject procedure pointers and procedure pointer components.
