Default Run-time error '9' - doesn't occur when unallocated array is Watch

OK, this is one I have no idea about.

Example code as follows:

Sub test()
Dim myArray() As Range
Debug.Print LBound(myArray)
End Sub

1. If I run this sub, I get a run-time error '9' (obviously...).
2. If I step into this sub, I get the same run-time error '9'.
3. If I add a watch to the variable myArray and have it visible in the
Watches window and then run the sub, I get the run-time error '9'.
4. BUT - If I add a watch to the variable myArray and have it visible in the
watches window and then STEP INTO the sub, I DO NOT get the run-time error
'9'. Instead, the value of 0 is output to the Immediate window.

This might seem trivial, but it's proving a bit irritating when I'm trying
to debug a larger project. Also, it's just a puzzler and I'd love to know
what on earth is going on!!!

Thanks to anybody for help.
