What is the type of children and how does it check the len?  Maybe there's 
something wrong or broken on our side which is leading us down to this code 
path.  It could also be that the exception shouldn't occur but there's 
something wrong in the Python code that causes us to get to the exception (and 
would presumably do the same on CPython).

Otherwise if the exception occurs on both CPython and IP then I think the 
IndexOutOfRangeException is correct.  VS does have a "Just My Code" feature so 
depending on if you're trying to debug IP or a mix of Python code and your own 
C# code you might find your experience to be better if you don't build IP.  
Instead just debug your Python code & C# code against the released binaries (or 
your own build w/o PDBs).  Without the PDBs for the IP code VS should then only 
recognize the Python code and your C# and only show you the exceptions coming 
from your code.  Obviously if you're hacking on the IP runtime this doesn't 
help you :).

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. Although unchecking
everything in the Debug->Exceptions "thrown" column does not change the
described behaviour.

The stacktrace showed that the particular python exception thrown
inherited from System.IndexOutOfRangeException. Unchecking
"User-unhandled" for that exception does the trick.

I am not sure if this is desired behaviour, as I believe that the same
exception could easily be raised in C# code - not causing the debugger
to break with these settings.

Running in Release mode goes fine (the fact that it hung before was
probably due to interference with NUnit).
