Are you sure?  The application output pane shows the issue raised in
that bug report but I see the same message when using the gdb 7.2
shipped with the current Qt SDK, and that version of gdb has no
problem showing me the whole call stack.  This would lead me to
believe the two issues are unrelated, but I don't know a lot about it,
fwiw.
