The bit that breaks the unwinder was in setup_pebs_fixed_sample_data():

                if (x86_pmu.intel_cap.pebs_format >= 2) {
                        set_linear_ip(regs, pebs->real_ip);
                        regs->flags |= PERF_EFLAGS_EXACT;
                } 

"real_ip" causes the issue. 

But on a second thought, it is probably better also blocks precise_ip == 1, 
to match the logic in intel_pmu_hw_config().
