Isn't this a bit ad hoc? I think the issue of doing TRT when both a
breakpoint and a watchpoint fire for the same instruction needs a more
general solution. While ignoring breakpoints might be the Right Thing
in this particular case, I wonder what will be TRT in other cases?

Did you try to arrange for a normal breakpoint and a watchpoint on the
same instruction, and see what happens in that case, with and without
this patch?
