For shared libraries we added the "future-break" command which will keep trying to set a breakpoint till it takes. We actually tried to submit that a while ago, but there was no consensus whether this should be a separate command, the default behavior of break, or what. We got distracted by some emergency, and this went no further.
That is simply not correct. Tom Tromy pointed out a problem with the
original change (that people would just use future-break) and Apple
never responded. Since then a proposal "fix break, not add
future-break" has been posted:

and even you agreed.
