This appears to be a bug in new-ui.

In particular, mi_interp::resume sets gdb_stdtarg but nothing ever
resets it in this scenario.

Could you file a bug report for this?

I don't know how this code is really supposed to work.
Maybe gdb_stdtarg* all have to be macros like gdb_stdout et al.

Or maybe some command executor somewhere should resume the tty's
interpreter before invoking the command.

I don't really understand the design of the ui/interpreter code.  To me
it seems a lot more convoluted than is really desirable or necessary.
