This has been fixed in svn but has not yet made it into a release.
Below is output where I ran your pgm with the current release but with  
mpdgdbdrv.py replaced.
I have attached a new copy of that file.

Sample output:

(magpie:131)% ~/mpich2-1.0.7/src/pm/mpd/mpiexec.py -gdb -n 2 mpivg
0-1:  (gdb) b 10
0-1:  Breakpoint 2 at 0x80499a1: file mpivg.cpp, line 10.
0-1:  (gdb) r
0-1:  Continuing.
0-1:
0-1:  Breakpoint 2, main (argc=134921840, argv=0x1) at mpivg.cpp:10
0-1:  10        return 0;
0-1:  (gdb) 0-1:  (gdb) q
0-1:  The program is running.  Exit anyway? (y or n) [answered Y;  
input not from terminal]
0-1:  MPIGDB ENDING
