This may be a side-effect of optimization or debugging another part than you 
compiled for.
Which optimization flags do you compile with?
Try to turn optimization off and see if stack variables are correctly displayed 
then.

If this does not solve your problem, please send me a simple example project 
where this problem appears.

You could also try
>avr-readelf -wi yourobjectfile|less
and see if the location of stack variables makes sense.
