 Using steplocal after breaking on an exception leads to GHCI giving a
 pattern match error

 Minimal testcase:


 {{{
 Prelude> :set -fbreak-on-exception
 Prelude> error "abc"
 Stopped in <exception thrown>, <unknown>
 _exception :: e = _
 [<unknown>] [<unknown>] Prelude> :steplocal
 *** Exception: Pattern match failure in do expression at
 ghc/GHCi/UI.hs:3149:12-18
 }}}

 :step works as expected.
