Do you mean to say 

 ".. as opposed to the Racket repl or the DrRacket repl when (g1) is entered individually?"

Posing the question like this suggests that the difference is in the load process, which has an invisible continuation at the end of the three (g1)'s. But I could be way off here.

I'd write your code like this: 

#lang racket
(define (make-gen gen)
  (define resume-point (box #f))
  (define (result-of-make-gen)
    (let/cc caller-of-result-of-make-gen
      (define (return v)
        (let/cc caller-of-return
          (set-box! resume-point caller-of-return)
          (caller-of-result-of-make-gen v)))
      ;; -- IN --         
      (cond
        [(unbox resume-point) => (lambda (f) (f caller-of-result-of-make-gen))]
        [else (gen return)])))
  ;; -- IN -- 
  result-of-make-gen)

(define g1 (make-gen (lambda (return)
                       (return "a")
                       (return "b")
                       (return "c"))))

(g1)
