I think you are looking at the problem from the wrong point of view. You should
forget about the internals of the mono runtime and the debugger and think about
what a developer building a managed application expects.

Stopping on signal 11 only makes sense when debugging unmanaged code. The
runtime does it. But when the signal 11 happens in managed code, it is
translated by the runtime into a NullRefException, which can be handled by the
application. The debugger should behave in the same way.
