I can replicate this on x86 by taking a perf.data and truncating it
after the first sample+backtrace:


# wget http://samba.org/~anton/perf_truncated.test


# perf report -i perf_truncated.test -g fractal
...
   100.00%     perf  [kernel]       [k] native_write_msr_safe


# perf report -i perf_truncated.test -g flat
...
   100.00%     perf  [kernel]       [k] native_write_msr_safe
           100.00%
                native_write_msr_safe
                intel_pmu_enable_all
                hw_perf_enable
                perf_enable
                __perf_counter_enable
                smp_call_function_single
                task_oncpu_function_call
                perf_counter_enable
                perf_counter_for_each_child
                perf_ioctl
                vfs_ioctl
                do_vfs_ioctl
                sys_ioctl
                system_call_fastpath
                0x7f00c1857537
