The bad news is that I was able to confirm that the "x=4" condition is ignored in the LC debugger.
The good news is that the breakpoint triggers as expected when using an experimental debugger I'd written years ago. That debugger is very sparse by design, with very minimal features and relying heavily on native engine behavior.
So it would seem the engine is fine, and all that's needed is some fix to the scripts in the IDE debugger.
