Initial Comment:
the following function definition, typed in at an idle 
prompt:

def broken():
	print "function"
	break
===
gives the traceback
Exception in Tkinter callback

above the function definition. Alt-P fails to give back the 
erroneous function definition. In Python 2.2.3, IDLE 0.8, 
windows XP.

Could you test with IDLEfork or the IDLE in 2.3b2? 
Hopefully this problem has been fixed for 2.3.
