To the best of my knowledge GNU Go has never gotten into this sort of
position. There is a test case (gunnar:27) of this kind, however, but
that was from a game not involving GNU Go.

Regarding how it's analyzed GNU Go easily sees that white is alive
above, by unconditional status analysis. Unfortunately it is very
unlikely that it would find a move to reach the position, or analyze
it correctly if one of the strings was "split" by, e.g., a bamboo
joint.
