I was trying to gauge whether it makes sense to change the way the VM is doing this to address the debugging problem that you ran into i.e was this a general issue to be solved, or a one-of special case that should be handled by a local change instead.

Got it. I obviously handled this by a local change first. But I think the JVMCI compiler initialization executes quite some Java code and I think it is  beneficial if this code executions is observable by Java agents (which don't include only the debugger).
