Looks better, but does not work. But Francisco recipe works, wonders.
Another solution which works is your hint about inline functions, e.g:

static inline uint8_t dummy (uint8_t x) { return x; }

if (dummy (flags & (FLAG_A | FLAG_B))) ...

what's interesting as well is that I have two of such if's in code, and
"fixing" the first one automagically fixes the second if without making
any actual modifications to it.

Sure, I've attached a bare-bone sample which I can't force to use eight
bits without the temporary variable or inline function hack.

The command line I use is:

avr-gcc -mmcu=atmega168 -S -Os code.c

in the resulting .S file (I hope) you will see this:

movw r24,r28
andi r24,lo8(7)
andi r25,hi8(7)
or r24,r25
breq .L2
call something
.L2:
...

ditto for second if.
