the recent GDB has problems running GDB `xbacktrace' on EMACS
http://sources.redhat.com/ml/gdb/2007-02/msg00252.html
It seems clear why the change was made:
On the other hand byte arrays become unreadable if printed as strings.
However, it seems that their hope this would not bother anyone was based
on an assumption which is inaccurate:
I hope nobody uses sign-specification for strings.
Which GDB behavior is better is a matter of how often each one is
convenient and how often it causes trouble. I don't know enough to
have an opinion about that, but if neither one is clearly better
overall, it would be best to leave GDB the way it was.
