It might make Eric's work easier to at least file a bug report for it.
Btw., to prove this is really a deficiency, it might suffice to
demonstrate that the very same GNU assembler can handle this situation
for other architectures pretty well:

address@hidden 1836% cat foo.s
..byte 2f - 1f
1: .ascii "Hello, world!"
2:

address@hidden 1837% as -o foo.o foo.s
address@hidden 1838% objdump -s foo.o

foo.o:     file format elf32-i386-freebsd

Contents of section .text:
 0000 0d48656c 6c6f2c20 776f726c 6421      .Hello, world!  
address@hidden 1839% avr-as -o foo.o foo.s
foo.s: Assembler messages:
foo.s:1: Error: illegal relocation size: 1
