This is still the case.

That part was related to the kernel I was running. And was fixed by:

commit c265cd259a82542abf290a6aeb058056d6c18b73

    Replace walk_stack field version guard with autoconf test.
    
    The test for whether or not to assign print_context_stack to the
    walk_stack stacktrace_ops field depended on the kernel version.
    Replace with a proper runtime/autoconf test to make sure the field
    always gets assigned when available.
    
    * buildrun.cxx (compile_pass): Add output for STAP_CONF_WALK_STACK.
    * runtime/autoconf-walk-stack.c: New test.
    * runtime/stack.c (print_stack_ops): Assign walk_stack field
      print_context_stack depending on STAP_CONF_WALK_STACK.
