This is not something we can fix in X.org, at least not yet. There are future plans to work around the complete block but for now we can't. The debugger obtains a grab and never releases it. From an X server POV this is a misbehaving client, the context of the client (i.e. that the client is halted during debugging) is invisible to the X server.

As Keith said, what is needed here is a debugging mode in the toolkit that prevents the client from issuing grabs while it is being debugged.

This needs to be fixed in Java, it cannot be fixed in the X server. Sorry.
