By looking at the IIS log, it looks like VS sends a "DEBUG index.aspx HTTP/1.1" request to the web server. So that would explain why URLscan prevents debugging.
I also found out that if you configure IE to allow automatic logins to the server, then VS will not send the DEBUG request. instead, it sends a GET request. So if you add the server to the Intranet or Trusted zone, you should be able to debug without changing the URLscan configuration.
