How about the following?

(gdb) break inline_foo
Breakpoint 5 set at inline_foo, which has multiple locations.
Say "info breakpoint 5" for more details.
(gdb) info break 5
Num Type          Enb Address    What
5   sw breakpoint  y  0x8040222  inlined into foo
5   sw breakpoint  y  0x8040822  inlined into bar
5   sw breakpoint  y  0x8040852  inlined into boring_loop
(gdb) delete 5 *0x8040852

I think this is the best default, yes.

Alternatively, we could show all possible addresses where the
requested breakpoint coulod be set and ask the user to select which
ones she wants, like this:

(gdb) break inline_foo
Function inline_foo is inlined into multiple locations:
  Address    Location
  0x8040222  inlined into foo
  0x8040822  inlined into bar
  0x8040852  inlined into boring_loop
Please use "break *address" to set breakpoints at one or more of these
(gdb) break *0x8040822 *0x8040822
