The point is still moved, isn't it?   There are many nonsensical 
customizations possible, does it really make sense to detect them and do 
something clever?  FWIW, I wouldn't have any problem with no fringe and no 
visible cursor, as gud-mode recenter the display when the breakpoint hits and 
from there I can remember how many (3-4 max) 'n' I typed and look at the 
right line, until it recenters again.
