I have a question. As a test, I did this:

                    section             data,bss
bitplane:           dcb.b               10240,0

Which assembled with no errors and a code size of 10240 bytes.

I also did this:

                    section             data,bss
bitplane:           ds.b                10240

Which again assembled with no errors but again with a code size of 10240 bytes.

Now, bearing in mind this:

I would've expected to get an error for using dcb.b on the first test and a code size of 0 on the second test. Or have I missed something or done something wrong...?
