Philipp, Sorry, I have no idea why. But maybe it's better to file this as a feature request for better optimization. Please include the used options (can I guess z80?) and attach some example code and generated asm.
Unfortunately there is noone really maintaining the z80 port currently. I do some fixups from time to time, but mcs51 is more my territory.
