This was shortly discussed in this message:

For matlab-shell to keep track of the breakpoints is not impossible but a
little tricky, because it would have to constantly query matlab with
"dbstatus".

Everything would be much easier if matlab was itself sending a message to
matlab-emacs whenever the list of breakpoints changes (e.g. all breakpoints
are cleared, or a new one is added). This feature used to be present with
EmacsLink, but has now disappeared.

My personal take on this is that if enough people complain to MathWworks
directly (not Eric), then they'll (perhaps) do something about it.
As I can't remember where my breakpoints are... I just stick with R2008 and
EmacsLink for now...
