Actually, the AVR isn't even sure itself whether it wants to have its
flash 8-bit or 16-bit aligned. When considering the flash as a source
for opcodes, it thinks everything needs to be handled in terms of
16-bit units, but when it comes to using the flash as a source for
data (i. e. the LPM instruction), it suddenly remembers that it could
be accessed byte-wide. This leads to the strange situation that the
128 KB flash devices can still use 16-bit addressing for opcodes, but
require 24-bit addressing (RAMPZ + index register pair) for LPM.

Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
