It seems that updating the COMPILER from the free version that
came with my PIC24 Start-Kit to the payed C30 version 3.11B
solved this issue ...

Native Trace is now working as advertised.

I would certainly not have expected that, thinking the evaluation 
compilers support ALL features, just lack in code-optimizations.
And tracing seems to be implemented in the IDE 
(macro insertition) rather than by the compiler itself.

Would be nice if someone from Microchip could confirm 
if this is indeed a limitation of the free compilers or not ...
(Did not get any reply to this on the MicroChip MPLAB forum sofar)
