It does in fact do the right thing, and I checked just now to be sure. 
:-)  The theory of CLI output is that gdb_stdout is set to the mi->out 
console, which prefixes random CLI text with a tilde and encloses it in 
quotes.  So changing gdb_stdout isn't sufficient, one has to reach in 
under the consoles and replace their streams with the open file or tee.
