Hi Alexey,

This is now fixed with:
https://github.com/google/syzkaller/commit/645ce5da79c9654c314f0d12f4c11f2a94ec156b
In particular tests for this report:
https://github.com/google/syzkaller/blob/master/pkg/report/testdata/linux/report/181
https://github.com/google/syzkaller/blob/master/pkg/report/testdata/linux/guilty/30

Thanks for the suggestion.
