Hmm. How odd. :-)

Oh, pgm_read_dword() is not a function, it's actually a macro that
generates inline assembly, and that could be the problem. I suggest
assigning the result of pgm_read_word to a temporary variable and then
assign and typecast that variable to your float variable. See if that
will work as a workaround.
