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.
