Ouch. That seems quite painful to do.

I wouldn't mind it, but I wonder whether there is another way.
Can we somehow use stty to set the terminal to adapt to this?
Could we maybe run gdb with a wrapper program (perhaps even another
instance of expect) to do the translation?
I looked a little at using Tcl's fconfigure on the fd opened by expect,
but that didn't seem useful in the end.
