Like I said, I know nothing about Docker, but my totally uninformed
guess would be that something in that command line mangles the output
from gdb, somehow, so that Emacs is no longer able to parse it.

It's hard to tell, since you're posting via Gmail, as HTML, and the
output examples you include have been mangled beyond recognition.

Perhaps try including them as attachments?
