LPC1114, RedProbe+: stepping through an interrupt fails

Hello,
I'm trying to get a first step in with the LPC1114 (running on 48MHz) on a LPCXpresso board. My problem is that I always get an error if I'm stepping through my TIMER_16_0 interrupt service routine. I set a breakboint on the line < if(LPC_TMR16B0->IR & (1<<0)) { > but if the debugger stops and I start single stepping through the code an error "10: Could not start execution from stop" appears,  if I only hit resume everything is fine.
Since I'm debugging with the RedProbe+ and a virtual Windows XP machine, I first thought that it might be a virtualisation problem,  with my Laptop and Windows 7 but I got the same error message there.
Then I realized that I had to adjust the FLASHTIM register according to the mcu speed (btw. is this define missing in the header files?) but this also doesn't solve the problem.
To exclude some cabeling issues,  I did a (fast) setup with the Yagarto and JLink as debug tool. With the result that stepping through the ISR works fine.
If I disable the PLL so that the mcu only runs at 12MHz everything seems to be fine. Any ideas what is going wrong on my 48MHz setup?

    uint32_t flashtim;

void TIMER16_0_IRQHandler(void) {
    if(LPC_TMR16B0->IR & (1<<0)) {  //breakpoint is here
        static int i;
        ++i;
        LPC_TMR16B0->IR |= (1<<0);
    }

        i++;
    }

    LPC_SYSCON->MAINCLKSEL = 3;    //set pll as main clock
