I think you just need (setq eval-expression-debug-on-error t).

Stumbled over the same issue ... yesterday?, or so.  Also when debugging
Edebug.

Maybe people would like debug-on-error -> t taking precedence over
eval-expression-debug-on-error -> nil?  The danger is they turn both off
by default and then forget about the second one.
