Ah, that would explain it.

The current "finish" behavior is the original "finish" behavior.  There 
was a period (of several years) during which "finish" was broken.  I 
guess the test was written during that period (or with such a broken 
GDB).  "advance" came about because people wanted both the correct and 
broken behavior ....
