Not that I know of. Maybe newer Arduinos have a USB driver that handles
this better?

I think it's on the [comport] side that it has been fixed. Maybe it's combined with a better handling from the Arduino itself. I guess Martin Peach can answer this.

AFAIK the only way to get around this issue is to use a Byron/Minia

and use the HID or MIDI-USB for the (Sensor-)input.
Newer Arduinos should be able to reprogram the USB Atmel chip to behave
like a Keyboard/HID/MIDI-USB, That would work too.

The Arduino Leonardo is designed to behave like a keyboard, as far as I know, not the Uno.

And Pd is not freezing either?

Nope, it just throws an error message (or a few of them) saying that the connection to the serial device has been lost..
