Agreed that that is not a helpful end-user experience.

I would consider this to be more of a bug in GDB. Line 0 has a well-defined meaning in DWARF and stands for "no source location corresponds to this code". LLDB, for example, interprets line 0 as an indicator to skip over instructions and automatically steps over them when single-stepping through a program, since line 0 is not a meaningful place to stop. It might be worth talking to the GDB developers and ask them what they think about adding a similar feature to their handling of line 0. DWARF doesn't prescribe that that's how debuggers should behave, but I think it's a reasonable interpretation.
