This works:
1. start and  run gdb:
 
2.look for the matching disassembly line
    0x08048972 <main+30>: call  0x8048b66 <_Z3fooIiEbT_>

3. let gdb say what it has to say: 
    output _Z3fooIiEbT_
    {bool (int)} 0x8048b66 <bool foo<int>(int)>

4. call it like this:
    p ({bool (int)} 0x8048b66)(i)
    $1 = true

The gdb-bug causes one extra step. 
However, as far as I understand  it should be possible to wrap this and the 
typename-storing stuff into convenience functions,  if your plan to get 
python into gdb-business succeeds.

many thanks to you Daniel,
