It’s not a breakthrough post but I finally found where the bug that messed up gdbinit is located. I got obsessed into this problem and started browsing GDB source code. I knew that the problem ocurred when the file or add-symbol commands were used. The difference from file to exec-file is that symbols are loaded so that was my starting point. This was more or less my flow:
file -> file_command -> symbol_file_command -> symbol_file_add_main_1 -> symbol_file_add_name_with_addrs_or_offsets -> symbol_file_add_with_addrs_or_offsets -> symbol_file_add_with_addrs_or_offsets_using_objfile -> new_symfile_objfile -> clear_symtab_users -> clear_internalvars
