That's a good question, PICAXE webpage shows this:

But after better research, I think all my 08M2 devices are PIC12F1840 and thats makes more sens.

After look in to the datasheet, on this chip is possible to control the pullups via special function register WPUA. This chip allows to separately control each WPU's include the pullup on pin GP3.
In this case is possible with this trick use the GP3 as digital output.
I have an idea, the picaxe has a built in security option, when someone try to read the firmware, the bootloader is "self erasing" and the chip is no more work as picaxe, but still works like an ordinary PIC.
Tomorrow I try read it, and I will after that know what kind PIC is it.
