Thank you for the report, this seems like a binutils issue potentially.
I will look into it. Here is a minimally reproducible example:

886 :
.option push
.option norvc
nop
nop
.option pop
887 :
888 :
.option push
.option norvc
.option arch,+zba
nop
nop
.option pop
889 :
.org . - (887b - 886b) + (889b - 888b)
.org . - (889b - 888b) + (887b - 886b)

Removing the ".option arch,+zba" fixes the issue but that shouldn't
matter...
