Even the IAR docs does not document that.  I grepped their supplied
header files, and could not find any plain __x declarations but __x__z
declarations.  This looks like it might somehow magically trigger
special handling for some of the pointer registers (X and Z).  I'd
suggest you bug avr -at- atmel -dot- com for that, after all, they
wrote that code. ;-)

Hmm, SCL and SDA aren't plain outputs (all the time) but are normally
supposed to be active-low (i.e. open drain) outputs that work against
external pull-up resistors.  I didn't look at their code, but these
pins IMHO need to be changed between output and input frequently if
there's no open-drain hardware implementation available.
