Agreed. Honestly I don't know if there are any deployed GUIs that
use MI except for Xcode -- I hear Eclipse does -- but I can imagine a
(poor) implementation dropping the ^error message text on the floor
and assuming that the user will see the error message in the gdb \x05\x12I/
O window.

Yes, I agree that outputting unformatted errors is a bad idea.
