Uh, it seems that I finally forget to actually attach my testcase ;o
Here it is:

$ cat as-test.S
        .section .init
        .set    nomacro
        .align 2
        .globl _init
        .end _init

The same was in first mentioned form, for two .end for one .ent:

        .section .init
        .set    nomacro
        .align 2
        .globl _init
        .ent _init
        .end _init
        .end _init
