They broke -nobreakpad in one of the latest steamworks library updates (that added automatic crash handling to all apps using it). The best way to debug is to just run the server directly in GDB, something like: gdb --args srcds_linux <normal startup line>
Make sure 'ulimit -c' is set to 'unlimited' and then run 'generate-core-file' to get a regular core dump (or just debug in GDB directly if you know how). Trying to debug the new *.dmp files removes the advantages of debugging on Linux as they are stripped of all symbols. If you want to open one anyway, most debuggers that can handle Windows *.mdmp files will deal with them.
