This may be partially resolved by the reintroduction of the patch in bug 1233185. The initial Stacktrace still ends in a corrupt stack but the non-multiarch version of gdb is able to produce a more useful Stacktrace and a StacktraceAddressSignature when retracing the crash. For example, with the gnome calculator crash from apport test crashes we can see the following differences.

Stacktrace:
 #0 0x4081ed22 in poll () from /lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/libc.so.6
 No symbol table info available.
 #1 0x4067c4e6 in ?? () from /lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/libglib-2.0.so.0
 No symbol table info available.
 Backtrace stopped: previous frame identical to this frame (corrupt stack?)

After retracing:
