Identifying Array Out of Bounds on * descriptor

If I dimension an array with a star descriptor, e.g.

double precision:: Value(*)

is there any way of the compiler detecting if I am out of bounds, by tracking the bound as declared way back up the calling tree?

No. Additional information would need to be passed to catch such a thing. If you use assumed-shape or adjustable arrays, where the bound information is available, then you can detect these errors.
