I disagree, but I guess that's a question of interpretation. I don't 
think it's really a vector. So currently vector 0 is for the reset 
vector at address 0x80000004, and _stack_top is placed in front of the table

That's the linkers job. And it is handled correctly currently as long as 
the labels where they are pointing to are marked with the .thumb_func 
directive(as they are when using -Cpcortexm3)

You shouldn't add anything to get thumb vectors, as I explained further up.
