I was about to say that I agree with your first reply even though, having slept on it, I woke up realizing the #2 fix above is easy.  So given yiur second message I'll implement #2 and leave #1 for after the release.

To get the override in place, create a config for the status quo, commit a version of Kernel containing the default CompiledMethod>>#hasBreakpoint, create a config, then commit a version of System which restores the override.  I guess I was tired last night cuz this is obvious.  Ok time to get up, have a cup of tea and do this :)
