Yes, you are right. value_* interface (value_field) takes care about 
types with dynamic locations. This means the contents
for dynamic field types of structures are not at "Addr_of (type) + 
TYPE_FIELD_BITPOS (type, index) / 8" but at the value
of the dynamic location attribute which is already resolved.
So, switching to the new interfaces solves the issue mentioned in the 
commit message.
