What do you mean by "a binary file with source stripped"?  Did you
compile without debug information?  My gdb (built from current git repo
for x86-linux target) works correctly for binary without debug info.

(gdb) disassemble 
Dump of assembler code for function main:
   0x08048406 <+0>:     push   %ebp
   0x08048407 <+1>:     mov    %esp,%ebp
=> 0x08048409 <+3>:     call   0x8048400 <foo>
   0x0804840e <+8>:     mov    $0x0,%eax
   0x08048413 <+13>:    pop    %ebp
   0x08048414 <+14>:    ret    
End of assembler dump.
(gdb) ni
0x0804840e in main ()

No, it looks a bug to me.  What is your gdb version? or you can report
this bug here https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/
