Thanks. Importing the certificate stopped the annoying popup message.
I still wonder whether the lack of response to checking the "Permanently
store this exception" box is a bug.

Interviewed by CNN on 20/09/2013 11:44, Cecil Bankston told the world:
Recently, every time SeaMonkey starts to download my new Gmail messages
it shows an Add Security Exception message indicating an invalid
certificate, which I have to click to continue. The details show that
it appears to be related to my Avast antivirus checking the SSL secured
messages. I leave "Permanently store this exception" checked, but that
seems to have no effect, as the message still pops up each time mail is
checked. Is there any way to ensure that Seamonkey actually does store
the exception?
The best solution is to install the Avast root certificate in Seamonkey.
The installation is automatic for Thunderbird and clients that rely on
the Windows root certificate store (e.g. Outlook), but not for Seamonkey.
The procedure is outlined here (for Thunderbird, but it can easily be
adapted to Seamonkey):

But, in a nutshell, you have to export the Avast certificate from the
Windows certificate manager and import it to Seamonkey.
