Byon,

Microchip recently ran across this same problem.  It's being entered in
the development system's database.  The stopwatch is counting an extra
instruction when you use step-over.

The accuracy of the stopwatch is pretty much guaranteed to be good while
in RUN mode, but sometimes the internals of debugging cause it to
mis-count when single stepping.
