I thought about this approach, but target_wait's intro comment says:

     Note that it is
   _NOT_ OK to throw_exception() out of target_wait() without popping
   the debugging target from the stack; GDB isn't prepared to get back
   to the prompt with a debugging target but without the frame cache,
   stop_pc, etc., set up.

However, parts of this are obsolete, so maybe the entire thing is.

Yeah, it does seem like kernel bug territory.
