If by ``this command'' you mean the gdb-ui.el command (as opposed to
the GDB command invoked by gdb-ui.el), then I disagree, for the
reasons explained below.

That's not the only exception; there's also the case of another file
being #include'd in the current frame's source file. And then there's
the case of a macro defined on another file. And what about code that
jmp's to another function without building a new stack frame?
In general, I don't think it's gdb-ui's job to enforce such
restrictions on the user, even if these situations are rare. GDB
already deals with them, so gdb-ui shouldn't bother, since it will
never know enough to DTRT.
Also note that latest versions of GDB have the `advance' command,
which works like `until', but does stop in frames that are inner to
the one where the `advance' command was invoked. Thus, if the other
source file's function is called by the code in the current frame,
`advance' _will_ stop there.
