This is what I get using Python 3.3.1 in Windows:

C:\Users\ikelly\Desktop>c:\python33\python python_bug.py
first call
--Return--
> c:\users\ikelly\desktop\python_bug.py(7)foo()->None
-> pdb.set_trace()
(Pdb) c
second call
--Return--
> c:\users\ikelly\desktop\python_bug.py(7)foo()->None
-> pdb.set_trace()
(Pdb) c
