I agree that we need to be consistent between the two cases!

I don't know which one I prefer, though. Actually, I think I would
prefer if GDB reported the real line on which it was inserted. But
that would be a change of behavior from before, and that could
have ramifications that could potentially annoys the users
(on the "clear" command, for instance).

So I think that your patch is the most reasonable approach
