No, breakpoints set before start are essentially shared. When a
debugger engine starts, it gets all currently unassigned
breakpoints presented, and gets asked whether it might be
interested in handling it. In most cases the response is "Sure,
I'll try", so when the second engine starts there aren't "free"
breakpoints left.

[When I think about it, maybe "cloning" the breakpoints
might be more in line with typical expectation. Maybe file
a bug on JIRA]

Nothing. 

For your use case starting two Creator instances is the best
option. Switching between them is not more effort than 
switching between "Snapshots".
