Using breakpoints doesn't work when debugging

My npm script is as follows:

{
  ...
  "scripts": {
    "start": "babel-watch --debug 5859 src/backend/index.js",
    ...
  },
  ...
}

I get the Debugger listening on [::]:5859 message and my debugger is able to connect on port 5859, but putting breakpoints in my IDE (JetBrains WebStorm) appears to do nothing, making debugging effectively useless.

Using the --debug-brk option also screws up the debugging process, making it break on the underlying runner.js file instead of the script we want it to run on.

Any ideas how to make breakpoints work?

babel-watch version is 2.0.6

Progress on this?
