But you also say:

   After I added it, I now have this in emacs when it tries to show the source
   code:

   error in process filter: Phase error in gdb-pre-prompt (got pre-emacs)

which looks like Gdb is doing soething.  Perhaps it's reading your
my_gdbinit file and the error message is getting lost somewhere.
