I think the following patch is in order:
http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/rev/fb22dd5d6242

there's no need to skip the built-in function stack frame, because
get_debug_input already does that all right, and there's no need to
save and restore the frame, because do_keyboard does it.

John, can you check it out? I hope this didn't spoil something else.
