I think this case was unusual. gdb-ui will normally recognise that annotations
that GDB outputs.

For each GDB command the user types, it runs several behind the users back to
keep Emacs informed about the status of the program being debugged. This
requires careful co-ordination and will take just take time to iron out the
bugs. I can only suggest that you submit a bug report for each case.
