Someone recently suggested (on the linked Arduino conversation) that this
could be due to the "undefined" nature of infinite loops?
Indeed, putting an volatile access or replacing the final "while(1);" loop
with an abort() causes the symptom to go away.
Any of the OMITBUGx defines will make it work.

#include <avr/io.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

void serialEvent() __attribute__((weak));
void loop();

void serialEventRun(void)
{
#ifndef OMITBUG
    if (serialEvent) serialEvent();
#endif
}

#ifdef OMITBUG2
void serialEvent() {
}
#endif

int main() {
    for (;;) {
    loop();
    if (serialEventRun) serialEventRun();
    }
}

int nnn = 1;

void loop()
{
    if (nnn <= 3) {
    char rrr = 0;
    while ( !rrr ) {
        if (PORTB)
        rrr = (PORTB == 'c' );
    }
    PORTB |= 1 << 5;
    nnn++;
    } else
#ifdef OMITBUG4
    abort();
#else
    while (1)
#ifndef OMITBUG3
        ;
#else
    PORTB = 1;
#endif
#endif
}
