@Nick:
Thank you for looking at this.  My test case is the following program:

static __thread char baz=17;
static __thread char foo[1024] __attribute__((aligned(1024)));
int main() { return 0; }

Compiling this (without optimization) yields:

and

ld complains because 32400 > 30000+2001.

@Alan:
Indeed it will allow that.  And that would be a problem... why exactly?
.tbss is never loaded in the traditional sense; since it has no loading
requirements its loading requirements (none) are fulfilled by any and all
PT_LOAD segments, and so it is "in" them in the same way that the empty set is
a subset of any set.
