See http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=10351

Your test case seems to work for me: When I eval

(rgrep "inline" "*.exp" "/tmp/gdb-7.4.1")

or do something equivalent in an interactive way *grep* contains

[...]
./gdb/testsuite/gdb.base/pending.exp:224:".*Breakpoint.*, main.*$mainline.*" \
./gdb/testsuite/gdb.base/pending.exp:283:\[0-9\]+\[\t \]+breakpoint     keep 
y.* in main at .*$srcfile:$mainline.*
./gdb/testsuite/gdb.cp/mb-inline.exp:18:# This test verifies that setting 
breakpoint on line in inline
./gdb/testsuite/gdb.cp/mb-inline.exp:28:set testfile "mb-inline"
./gdb/testsuite/gdb.cp/mb-inline.exp:37:     untested mb-inline.exp
[...]

Perhaps you are accessing gdb.cp via a symbolic link, for some reason?
