Well, I use extended COFF. The WinAVR people would like us to move to 
DWARF because it is GCC's native format. But I think support for this 
was new in AVR Studio 4.10, maybe even at beta level. I think it was 
improved in 4.11. Someone will correct me if I'm wrong.

Unfortunately, Atmel tell us to uninstall one version of AVR Studio 4 
before installing another. This makes it far less attractive to look to 
see if your problem has gone away in the next release. Especially since 
4.11 loads a new protocol into your STK500 which is not backward 
compatible and breaks a bunch of open source tools.  I'm not sure what 
to suggest, except to agree that you might provide more information 
about what you're seeing.

By the way, I have ascertained that the ICE-Cube is fine with AVR 
Studio 4.11. The JTAG interface software is, in fact, unchanged, so it 
doesn't even upgrade.

I think my problem in viewing arguments was possibly due to AVRStudio having
been up for a long time (days) through many code reloads, etc.  I think the
problem went away when I restarted it ... we'll see ...

I am using your ICE-Cube and it seems to be performing effortlessly.
