Large parts of my undergraduate curriculum in the early 90s (at a mid-size well-funded public school in the united states) used pascal, and the unix and vms compilers we used most certainly suffered from the 'different array sizes are different types' issue.

No, that was a problem only with the original Pascal as designed by Niklaus Wirth for teaching purposes.
None of the Pascal dialects that extended it with features for professional programming suffered from it.
