No.

If you don't mind relying on readelf being installed, an automated
test would be possible.  But I'm not sure this issue will ever get
fixed.  Perhaps the "fix" will be just to issue an error when someone
uses .align inside .proc/.endp, so I'm not sure going to great lengths
with an automated test makes much sense at this point.
