Just a quick update...
I recently switched my desktop PC environment entirely over to Ubuntu Linux 9.10 (kicking myself for not doing this earlier) and in the process installed the latest Netbeans 6.8 with PHP 5.2.9. Had to install xDebug from scratch again.
Well despite the issues I was having with Netbeans 6.8/xDebug on Windows, NONE of those issues have surfaced at all with the Linux version. Its working absolutely perfectly, so I'm stoked. Finally I have the latest Netbeans (which is a joy to use BTW), a secure and fast desktop OS and I'm writing & debugging away. Highly recommend this setup.
