Can you check it on RELENG_7 ? It seems to be another old gdb bug.
With gdb 7.0,
(gdb) b main
Breakpoint 1 at 0x8048414: file hello.c, line 8.
(gdb) r
Starting program: /usr/home/kostik/build/bsd/6/stuff/hello1

Breakpoint 1, main (argc=1, argv=0xbfbfe53c) at hello.c:8
8               for (i = 0; i < argc; i++)

while in-tree gdb shows me the same behaviour as yours.
