After testing with the latest 1.4.4, the problem persist. Upstream has
acknowledged the problem and will work on a fix :

http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/kexec/2012-June/006381.html

But he also indicates that the use of vmcoreinfo  is no longer required
:

"BTW, do you need vmcoreinfo file ? If your purpose is only to generate 
dumpfile,
you can execute makedumpfile without -g option.
Because the vmcore generated by kernel 2.6.24 or later include the debug
information which makedumpfile need."

Maybe the best solution would be to get rid of the vmcoreinfo file
alltogether and adapt the kexec-tools script accordingly.
