Well, yes. If symbols are not present in the executable, the trace will search
backwards in memory to the closest symbol that happens to be defined.
In this case, frame 1 was stopped 188,607 bytes after the beginning of
MyInlineFunction. Unless MyInlineFunction is very long, this is a sign that the
information needed to show a meaningful symbol is absent. When you provide the
information by pointing a tool at the matching dSYM, you get a meaningful
symbol.
It's not an error; the data simply isn't there. Don't strip symbols, or do
symbolicate.
