I wouldn't go so far as to say that gdb needs to be forgiving. This case 
is unambiguous, and IMO it is simply a bug/mis-feature. I put those 
tests there as a reminder that someone needs to figure out how to fix 
this... But:

Perhaps it would have been better to either XFAIL or remove them 
altogether and add a bugzilla entry to track this. I was hoping to get 
to it, but as it turned out, there were "bigger fish to fry. :-(
