I tried your example (the second one posted) and eric behaves as expected. 
Entering just one of the exceptions, eric show the "Break here?" dialog just 
on this exception. Entering both, shows the dialog on both. Entering none 
shows them on both as well and would show it on every other exception.

It works overe here.
