I must have missed that.  Can you please point to a reference?

After selecting all breakpoints GDB prints:

  warning: Multiple breakpoints were set.
  Use the "delete" command to delete unwanted breakpoints.

I can see it may be an inconvenience but not how it can be a limitation.
IMHO, it seems preferable to generating prompts that are not compatible with
rules for MI output.
