I'm using:
GNU gdb (Sourcery G++ Lite 2010q1-188) 7.0.50.20100218-cvs

I tried with no telnet client connected, just gdb, and got the same behavior.
Maybe I'll have to run arm-gdb under gdb to find out what's going on ...

Yes, apparently that doesn't work on this chip:
Info : feroceon.cpu: hardware has 1 breakpoint/watchpoint unit
When I try, I get this:

no watchpoint unit available for hardware breakpoint
can't add breakpoint: resource not available

It all seems OK:

target state: halted
target halted in ARM state due to debug-request, current mode:
Supervisor
cpsr: 0x400000d3 pc: 0x07f7c2e8
MMU: disabled, D-Cache: disabled, I-Cache: enabled

I think it must still be executing the unmodified instruction out of
the i-cache. Shouldn't openocd flush that when it sets a software
breakpoint?
