 In a more finegrained but also more complicated example, you probably
want to insert a breakpoint in the delay slot first and at the second step
evaluate the branch's condition and put a breakpoint at the next
instruction to be executed.  I'm not sure if the current version of gdb
does the first step, but it inserts a single breakpoint in the second one
only.  For branch likely instructions adjust the two steps as necessary. 
Does that actually work reliably across MIPS processors?  I don't
believe that it will.  I suppose you could re-execute the branch to get
the delay slot executed...
It should.
