Maybe that is wrong too, but, as you say, it isn't lying.

I would argue that a breakpoint in another thread is not in the same 
location (unlike a condition). The similarity of the PC might be 
considered an accident of the implementation, perhaps.

It's also easy to tell that the thread is different, while comparing 
conditions makes no sense (although checking for the presence of 
conditions might).

In any case, it is an irritant, a customer has complained, and the added 
information isn't a bad thing.
