Yes, it seemt that this is the [truly silly] behaviour.  It turns out 
to be benign when connected via serial since the board gets reset and 
will respond fairly soon to any GDB protocol stuff coming down the wire.  
However, when you're connected on the network, a response will never 
come back.   The host side GDB will eventually time out.
