For code, use verbatim-markup avoid interpretation as rich text:

https://savannah.gnu.org/cookbook/?func=detailitem&item_id=125

Confirmed here.  A simpler example is


octave:14> dbstatus
octave:15> dbstop print
ans =  316
octave:16> dbstatus
breakpoint in print at line 316
octave:17> clear all
octave:18> dbstatus
octave:19>


I suspect it has something to do with the function clearing as described in the doc:


     The following options are available in both long and short form

     '-all, -a'
          Clear all local and global user-defined variables and all
          functions from the symbol table.


Whatever it means for functions to be cleared from the symbol table might also be clearing breakpoints associated with those functions.  To illustrate, make the "clear" more specific:


octave:19> dbstatus
octave:20> dbstop print
ans =  316
octave:21> dbstop plot
ans =  211
octave:22> dbstatus
breakpoint in plot at line 211
breakpoint in print at line 316
octave:23> clear print
octave:24> dbstatus
breakpoint in plot at line 211
octave:25>

Simple functions illustrate the problem:
One for foo
[melrobin@scorpion convert_to_python]$ cat foo.m
clear all
a=bar_m(7,17);
a

and the other for bar
[melrobin@scorpion convert_to_python]$ cat bar_m.m
function Y=bar_m(x,y)
% Split Bregman Anisotropic Total Variation Denoising
%
%   u = arg min_u 1/2||u-g||_2^2 + mu*ATV(u)
%
%   g : noisy image
%   mu: regularisation parameter
%   u : denoised image
%
% Refs:

   Y=2*x*y;

Type dbstop bar_m <enter> followed by foo <enter> and Octave ignores the breakpoint.  Remove the "clear all" and Octave correctly enters debug mode.

Matlab enters debug mode regardless of the presence of "clear all". 

This may be more than a Matlab compatibility problem.  I am not sure how to make any further progress in tracking down what is happening.
