gdb> help user-define
User-defined commands.
The commands in this class are those defined by the user.
Use the "define" command to define a command.

List of commands:

ascii_char -- Print the ASCII value of arg0 or '

I don't know if this is normal behaviour. It also happens on the command line: 

gdb> newcommand.eviltext
Undefined command: "newcommand".  Try "help".
gdb>

gdb> help status.moreeviltext
Status inquiries.

List of commands:

info -- Generic command for showing things about the program being debugged
macro -- Prefix for commands dealing with C preprocessor macros
show -- Generic command for showing things about the debugger
