I ran into the same problem a few weeks ago (gcc 4.3.3 / binutils 2.19) 
and I agree with you, the linker should test the size of .text + the 
size of .data. Currently the linker reports an error only if the size of 
.text is bigger than the target flash space. However avrdude catches the 
error when it looks at the .hex file being programmed but earlier 
detection would be more efficient.
