I so far saw this with:

  databases/objpgsql
  databases/objsqlite3
  security/cryptopassphrase

What they all have in common is that they use clang over gcc.

Now that you mention devel/glib2, I also tried that:

niflheim glib2> grep -c O0 work/.work.log
724

So even there I have it (this is on Linux). NetBSD as well:

nil glib2> grep -c O0 work/.work.log
744

Yeah, plain is also … weird. But yeah, if you read the documentation 
carefully, it actually becomes clear that plain has no optimizations :/

release is -O3. Are we going to just say we're fine with that, assuming 
that software that uses Meson is tested with release and hence -O3?

If we want no debug and -O2, the solution would be the commit I linked 
(you can just have no buildtype at all).

> I wonder, what is the default if we pass no buildtype?
Default value is documented as "debug". "debug" is documented as
"-Ddebug=true -Doptimization=0"
