The problem then is that Entity Framework has a try/catch block to handle this error so that the application doesn't stop working when this error happens. After handling the error, it returns the application to a normal state, as you might do also in your own application's try/catch blocks. Thus breaking on these exceptions was making my code stop unnecessarily.

Breaking in all exceptions was necessary while I was debugging a complex program, but I should have had reset the debugging exceptions settings after I didn't need it anymore. Hope this may help someone else going through this same hard to catch environment issue.
