Indeed. Same problem happens for "regular" breakpoints.

I have them locally now and use a trick like this (I override the 
WindowsPlatform class and override:
lldb_private::Error
     MyPlatformWindows::GetSharedModule (const lldb_private::ModuleSpec 
&module_spec,
                     lldb::ModuleSP &module_sp,
                     const lldb_private::FileSpecList 
*module_search_paths_ptr,
                     lldb::ModuleSP *old_module_sp_ptr,
                     bool *did_create_ptr)

Making it load with the new path. Pretty much the same thing as the 
sysroot would do except that I get notified over which files I need and 
I can download them on the fly (saving them). Loading them from memory 
was way too slow yes, takes over a minute to load them all.
