The order matters in the sense that GDB can't stop and give the user a
prompt before evaluating all the conditions.

I don't think we should make any promises about the relative order in
which breakpoint conditions will be evaluated.

Yes, that is what we want to test -- that the condition methods are
evaluated regardless of whether a user breakpoint exists. This is the
"no interference" case.
