OK.  When you do (4) you put the GUD buffer in the window that
gdb-source-window points to.  So when you do 'f' gdb-ui thinks the source
should go there.

I'm not sure what I can do as commands like switch-to-buffer are built-in.
Maybe some kind of hook in window-size-change-functions to keep gdb-ui
up-to-date.  Or perhaps having window groups would make it impossible to switch
the source buffer for the GUD buffer if they were assigned to different groups.
