The manual says:

  A "user-defined command" is a sequence of GDB commands...

GDB command implicitly means CLI command.  I guess an equivalent MI command
could be implemented to execute a sequence of MI commands, but I'm not sure
that it would be needed.

I don't know why you expect "define", a CLI command to accept a list of
MI commands.  Likewise, "source filename" and breakpoint command lists will
only work with CLI commands.

What does seem wrong is that MI no longer works properly with queries:

(gdb) 
-interpreter-exec console "b asdf"
&"Function \"asdf\" not defined.\n"
~"Breakpoint 2 (asdf) pending.\n"
^done
(gdb) 

The user should be asked:

Make breakpoint pending on future shared library load? (y or [n])
