Lose info compared to what? If debuginfo isn't installed on the client
side, only this minidebug info is there, then that info wouldn't be provided
either, so just adding the symbol (and/or line info) stuff on the server
shouldn't make (much difference), unless the backtrace uses symbol or line
info internally for heuristics etc. (but we really should be emitting
async unwind info anyway already).
