I'd say, this is not a bug, but abuse of the .progmem(.data) section, to be 
resolved by enhanced documentation and adding dedicated "high progmem" 
section(s) into the linker script. I "asked" for such in 
https://savannah.nongnu.org/bugs/?26365 , I am unable to resolve the details 
myself. Some diagnostic/warning issued by linker would be nice but is not worth 
the hassle, IMHO.

PS Sorry for hijacking the thread for one specific issue. Although it might be 
a more appropriate place, I won't comment in the binutils tracker, as this is a 
highly personal view and I believe many will find it controversial.
