AIUI, Andrew's observed failure of avr-as to handle:

   .byte 2f-1f
1: .ascii "somestring"
2:

is a well known bug, even if not recorded. Giving .byte the same address
computing ability as ldi has long had, and Klaus Rudolph gave to ldd back in
2004, is rectification of a long-standing generic defect.
