Well, top-level assembly is usually nasty. Setting the section in the assembly statement as you said is probably the only thing you *can* do.
You'll probably need to (at the end of the asm block) restore the current section to what it was before (".previous"), too.
I don't think there is any requirement that top-level assembly statements get the section set to .text on their behalf.
