I didn't know this was there, but if it's a documented feature, we
should probably leave it be.  But it's not documented for -break-list
and I can't see any reason why it should be.

Is changing -break-list enough to fix your problem?  If so, I
recommend that; either by separating -break-list and info break into
different functions, or by the old hack of ui_out_is_mi_like_p.
