What happens when you set `ido-default-buffer-method' to 'other-window?

Where IO goes to is not related to the window/buffer relationship.

What do you mean by this? That the *gud* buffer is displayed in the
wrong window?

What is C-b bound to in this situation?

Could you please try to run `display-buffer' with edebug to trace the
behavior you observe?
Usually this can happen only if (1) `pop-up-frames' is non-nil, (2)
`display-buffer-reuse-frames' is non-nil, or (3) the windows on the
selected frame are dedicated.
