You are right. The same problem with watchpoints. Here is a small test
for this:

    .text
    .global _start
_start:
    adr     x0, wp
    msr     dbgwvr0_el1, x0
    mov     x0, #1
    orr     x0, x0, #(3 << 3)
    orr     x0, x0, #(0xff << 5)
    msr     dbgwcr0_el1, x0
    ldr     x0, wp
    wfi
    b       .

    .data
    .balign 64
wp:
    .quad   0
