Bingo!
[root@...et ~]# perf record -e "{cycles,page-faults,branch-misses}" usleep 1
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.020 MB perf.data (20 samples) ]
[root@...et ~]# perf annotate -l --stdio 2>&1 | grep -w nan | head

So, if we don't use -l/--print-line we get:
[root@...et ~]# perf annotate --stdio --no-source native_write_msr

I.e. one column per event in that group, and no -nan, all is well.
But if we ask for --lines it gets b0rked:
[root@...et ~]# perf annotate --stdio --no-source native_write_msr --print-line

I don't have that much time to continue pursuing this, try to continue
investigating, I'll try to help and to fix this later.
