Only when invoking emacsclient to perform commands non-interactively,
right?  If you start an interactive session using emacsclient, the
debugger behaves as expected, right?

If so, the bug is that the daemon thinks it is in a situation
described by the comment you quote, while "emacs -batch" somehow
avoids that pitfall.  You should debug Emacs to understand why the
difference happens.

Then how come "emacs -batch" doesn't exhibit the same behavior?

No, I don't think so.
