I wrote a testcase for this and it seems we do get this right (a statement probe
with address on a process/function with debuginfo gets set exactly on the given
statement). So, I must be reading the code wrong.

I'll attach the testcase. Not checked in yet, since it depends on resolving bug
#10458 first, so we get predictable uaddr() results.
