Strange.  I see no reports of this problem on the Internet.  What
version of GDB is that?  Maybe try to downgrade to a previous one?

Does it help to set a breakpoint in free_realized_faces instead?  Also
in uncache_face, here:

  if (face->id == c->used)
    --c->used;

The last one could be conditioned on c->used == 1 (before the
decrement).
