I tried this as well and have the same GDB synchronization problem e.g.

break log_stuff
commands
   silent
   if (variable_logging_enabled)
      printf "(%d,%d)\n",stuff1_variable,stuff2_variable
   end
   cont
end

The printf's don't complete before the cont happens.  Sounds like maybe
this is a GDB problem...
