/facepalm I had thought I read "Breakpoint Instruction exceptions" in
the list on D2.5 "The effect of powerdown on debug exceptions",
although on second read I most definitely did not. And if I had read
the bottom of the section, I'd of seen one of the quotes.

Probably because the expectations I wrote match the non-architected
behavior I implemented :-)
