Please file a bug. Someone probably will from the linux community, possibly even you?

But to find it programmatically I'll need to do some math: pick any section with non-zero size and subtract its file address form its memory address. Hmm... seems like a workaround, but it would be better to have a more direct way.

So try the following:

(lldb) memory read 0x7fc7125ff000

See if you see the "ELF\x7d" magic byte string. If so, then this is definitely the address you are looking for. You can also set a breakpoint when the shared libraries get loaded and see where the image is being loaded since I believe the POSIX Dynamic Loader loads things using a single address that it gets from somewhere. This address that is used by the dynamic loader should be the address that is displayed...
