[Qt-creator] OSX Debugging woes

This is a first time post, so sorry if I'm missing something obvious.

I've been debugging my QT4.5 app in Creator v1.1 and 1.2 on OS X 10.5.7, and
I've been having intermittent, but frequent, problems debugging.  What I
*think* I'm observing is that breakpoints are honored and work OK the first
time, but when I do an incremental build, they do not work reliably.  The
debugger breaks at a wrong location or does not break at all.  When I
perform a full rebuild of my project, breakpoints seems to work OK.

This is different from the debug helper issues that I see in the list
archives.

It is very similar to the "Breakpoints not working" issue I see here:
http://lists.trolltech.com/pipermail/qt-creator/2009-May/002865.html and,
like that user, I also migrated my .pro file from an older project that was
originally created in VS on Windows.  But, unlike this case, my .pro file
does not include the 'CONFIG += release' issue.  I've also verified that my
compile steps include the '-g' option.

My project consists of three sub projects, the main Qt application plus two
static library projects.  Not sure if that is potentially relevant or not.

Any suggestions on how to solve this, or at least isolate the problem
better?
