Omitting address was to distinguish inlined entries from others.  I
didn't think it's a problem by itself (missed inter-operability below),
but duplicated entries should be removed.

Yes, inlined nodes should have correct IP for later use.

Right.  Current callchain mode has the problem.  It shows a mix of
callchains of a sample and children of the sample.  I proposed a patch
[1] to handle it but I failed to find time to update it as Jiri
suggested.

Nice work!

But I found some problems in both of your patch and current code
during testing (mostly for the children mode).  I'll send a fix soon.
