It's usually the first reference to the symbol. Basically, GDB does
a quick-load of the debug info into partial symtabs (containing
partial symbols), and upgrades it to full symtab/symbols when first
referenced.

Maybe it does not ATM, but I don't see why it shouldn't. If it
does not, I agree with Mark that this is suspicious.
