Neat trick. :)

Here's what I tried.

   1. emacs -Q -nw foo.c
   2. M-x gdb RET foo RET
   3. M-x gdb-enable-debug
   4. "b add_<TAB>"  [hangs]
   5. C-g twice (stops hanging)
   6. C-h v gdb-debug-log RET

I'll attach the contents of the *Help* buffer as gdb-debug-log.txt.

The last cons in gdb-debug-log.txt is (send-item ... "complete b
add_\n").  The second and third cons's above (send-item) seem to
contain the completion output.

I haven't had a chance to build an fsf gdb yet, but I'm downloading
gdb-7.0.1 now.  I'll try gdb 7.0.1 and let you know how it goes.

gdb-debug-log is a variable defined in `gdb-ui.el'.
Its value is shown below.

Documentation:
List of commands sent to and replies received from GDB.
Most recent commands are listed first.  This list stores only the last
`gdb-debug-log-max' values.  This variable is used to debug GDB-UI.
