Except that they're not "random other following output sections". They're
sections that are effectively added to the named section by another feature
of the linker, and you can't name those orphans, because it breaks actually
using that other feature.
I realized while having lunch that my test case actually masks a potential
failure mode. I will adjust it so that it shows the bogus behavior of not
adjusting SIZEOF.
