No, it is not. Your script sets the VMA in two ways, an address on
the output section, *and* by specifying a region with '>'. The
address overrides the region, so that is what you get for VMA. You
are setting the LMA by specifying a region with 'AT>', so you get the
current address of the region for LMA.
If you want different behaviour you're going to have to spend time
writing a patch for ld, and then convince maintainers that your change
won't break other people's ld scripts.
