I should have checked before posting. There's a logged bug which is
essentially: "compiling active routine doesn't clear instruction
pointer". It's currently marked as needing to be fixed for the next
release.

Executing just about any IDL command should update the debug model and
thereby clear the erroneous instruction pointer.
