1.3.1 was able to use some first version of the Python dumpers, but
they had to be explicitly loaded.

You could try to put

   python execfilr('/path/to/dumper.py')
   python execfilr('/path/to/gdbmacros.py')

into your .gdbinit and check whether it makes a difference.

If it doesn't, you can still use the "Compiled" dumpers. They have
been present since 1.2.0 IIRC.
