There are several possibilities, that I can think off:

1) some setting the IDE uses.
- Gather all the "set foo=" commands that the IDE sends, and see if 
applying them to your manual driven gdb session makes a different.
- Run your manual gdb with "gdb.exe -i mi " to enable mi mode (I  do not 
think that is it, but ....)

2) Timing (again, and not unlikely)
If you open gdb in a terminal, it prints to that terminal. In the IDE it 
prints to a pipe. That may take different amount off time.

Also, does your sniffer give the time, between the "step over" sent to 
the target, and the packet that comes pack, and is ignored? compared to 
when it works?
