Yes, it would be. There's no line number information stored anywhere. 
The way it could go is this:

* exception handler saves exception (which has stack context) in 
TestCase
* a click on the error line in TestRunner fires up the debugger 
directly on the stored context (instead of re-starting the TestCase 
as it does now) and you can see the next instruction highlighted in 
your test method.

I think we could modify the current version to do the extra step 
itself, too.

Have you seen my TestRunner enhancements that let you:

* run tests in background
* can debug failures/errors as soon as they happen, rather than 
waiting for whole suite
* adds progress notification
* adds a stop button
* You can select which tests you want to run.
* It sorts the test cases by name.
* It works in a MVC project.
* It has a context menu for the selection list
* It allows you to select test cases by pattern
