I'm curious why you think this is a bug. Consider:
... text | data ...
...---------------|----|----------------|---...
... page N | page N+1 | ...
Note that the beginning of the data segment overlaps onto the same
page as the end of the text segment. If I change the rounding as you
suggest, then this piece of the data segment would be read-only, which
would obviously be wrong, and could cause panics.
