To me it seemed relatively easy to implement the fix (even though I'm not really a C programmer) and the issue has been reported already (apparently in the correct manner), so I didn't bother pushing for inclusion of the fix. The other possibility is that people using official software such as Atmel Studio or MPLab are indirectly using either different debuggers or different debugging techniques (via the IDE) so completely avoid the issue. I have followed AVRFreaks for quite a few years now and even there the complaints about this bug is really few and far between. Perhaps avr-gdb is simply not used that widely?
