Hmm.. did you try my latest v5 patchset?  I couldn't reproduce the case
at least for the command lines above.

  $ perf script
            perf 24810 [007] 1546517.815809: sched:sched_stat_runtime: comm=perf pid=24810 ru
            perf 24810 [007] 1546517.815909: sched:sched_wakeup: comm=perf pid=24811 prio=120

            perf 24810 [007] 1546517.815957: sched:sched_switch: prev_comm=perf prev_pid=2481

            perf 24811 [008] 1546517.815993: sched:sched_switch: prev_comm=perf prev_pid=2481

     migration/8    48 [008] 1546517.816000: sched:sched_switch: prev_comm=migration/8 prev_p
         swapper     0 [009] 1546517.816002: sched:sched_switch: prev_comm=swapper/9 prev_pid
              ls 24811 [009] 1546517.816808: sched:sched_stat_runtime: comm=ls pid=24811 runt


Here, the process 24811 has only 3 samples before COMM event
