Cannot place a breakpoint with babel 6.x.x

[aegyed91]

On the weekend i tried to upgrade my project to the newly relased babel 6.

I am using the require hook approach. They changed it a bit, now i have to require('babel-core/register') instead of require('babel/register').

Everything transforms as before, but in node-inspector i am not allowed to place any breakpoints anywhere in the affected files which are being transpiled.

I am using:
node js v5.0.0
node-inspector v0.12.3
babel v6.0.15
babel-core v6.1.2 with es2015 and stage-0 presets

EDIT:
Here you can find the reproduction repo.
Also opened a ticket for the babel repo #2968

@amcdnl While I am the author of babel-node-debug (and I plan to update it to babel@6 compatibility soon), this specific issue is outside my expertise since I'm only mildly familiar with the node-inspector and babel projects. Unfortunately, this is an issue for the babel or node-inspector developers to sort out.
