A pretty straight way to generate the sequence as a list:

upto(lim)= {
  my( r=List([0]), t );
  for( i=1, oo
  , (t=r[i]<<1) <= lim || break;
    t && listput(~r, t);
    bitand(t, 2) || listput(~r, t++)
  );
  Vec(r);
}

That does about 1.4M terms per second.

(and it deliberately overshoots by one if lim == 0 (mod 4) is a term)
