Yes, but either way, gdb's "disassemble" command suffers the same problems
and would benefit equally by such a change.

That was my thought, as well. This function is not under my control,
though. You'll have to discuss changing it with the gdb folks.

I am not disagreeing that the change would be good. I'm just disagreeing
with changing it in insight alone. I think the proper place to do this (as
you've pointed out) is in "core" gdb.
