yes, you are sure right, I have reverted it now.

Sorry I made that commit somehow automatically, not expecting it may have any
side effects.

I think this patch is wrong. Starting with that commit (f30d5c7),
some tests (e.g. mi-break.exp) started to fail for me, because
of gdb segfaulting.

The address of expr is passed to the cleanup. When the cleanup is ran,
expr is no longer in scope, so what is at that address is probably not
safe to use anymore. That's my guess.
