This current problem is part of fallout from commit 8bb5c1bfec. That
commit was reverted on the emacs-29 branch, as it caused too much
trouble. It was not reverted on master, as I still hope someone
motivated enough will step up to fix this without reverting back to
using easy-mmode, which we hoped to obsolete.
If you can find a fix on master, patches would be very welcome.
Failing that, I might eventually decide to revert that commit on
master as well. There's a limit to the efforts I'm prepared to sink
into maintaining what is basically an obsolete package which uses a
GDB feature that GDB developers consider obsolete and may remove any
day (why don't you use "M-x gdb" instead?).
