Looking through the change history, other values didn't exist when the original
code was written.  So I guess it's not desired behaviour.

 if (current_interp_named_p (INTERP_MI1))
   uiout = mi_out_new (1);
 else if (current_interp_named_p (INTERP_MI)
	  || current_interp_named_p (INTERP_MI2))
   uiout = mi_out_new (2);
 else if (current_interp_named_p (INTERP_MI3))
   uiout = mi_out_new (3);
 else
   return;

would work (until new MI levels are introduced!).  It would be best to generalise
this and similar code to make it future proof.
