That narrows it down a lot.  Those changes are:

  2006-12-26  Nick Roberts  <address@hidden>

          * progmodes/gdb-ui.el (gud-watch): Allow duplicate names for watch
          expressions.
          (gdb-var-delete): Handle duplicate names.  Print message for non
          root expressions.

This should only make a difference if you create a watch expression in the
speedbar.

          (gdb-partial-output-name): Start buffer name with a space.
          (gdb-info-breakpoints-custom, gdb-reset): Handle space in above
          buffer name.

This looks a more likely candidate.  I've made the partial-output
buffer invisible to `C-x b' and tried to change the regexp accordingly.

It's hard for me to guess but do you see the same problem with another
program? i.e is it the program or something else e.g .emacs, OS, version
of GDB?

They *should* be fine.  What happens if you run your program under GDB without
your .gdbinit (gdb -nx), perhaps setting a breakpoint from the GUD buffer?
