I don't think it will help; it's just luck you got an ambiguity since
there are two commands starting with s.  You could get any number of
other errors, or even silent success.  Like:

(gdb) set ser.a = 1
Undefined set serial command: ".a = 1".  Try "help set serial".
(gdb) set args.a = 1
(gdb) show args
Argument list to give program being debugged when it is started is ".a = 1".
