It is a bug, triggered by the way ld specially treats empty output
sections.  An empty output section normally doesn't result in the
linker's current address or dot to change.  So for example a highly
aligned section won't result in an alignment gap for itself and
following sections if it is empty.  That resulted in the value of dot
not being set correctly inside your empty .ram section.
