We will definitely fix this. However, the entire Fortran interface has been
rewritten to make it simpler,
and allow using all the features os F90. Please see the bottom of
http://www.mcs.anl.gov/petsc/documentation/changes/dev.html

Would you be able to try out the master branch of PETSc development
(instructions here http://www.mcs.anl.gov/petsc/developers/index.html)?
This would let us know if the bug is still there.

  Thanks,
