It seems fine and normal for whole process to be the granularity of
attaching.  You need to be able to control the individual threads, of
course.  But it doesn't really make a lot of sense to "debug" one thread
and not another in the same process.

Yes, it seems like gdb is confusing itself here.
Perhaps it is not confused that way when in non-stop mode.
