Maybe I misunderstand what "set print symbol-filename" does, but at
least the manual seems to imply that it affects "print /a":

  If you have a pointer and you are not sure where it points, try
  @samp{set print symbol-filename on}.  Then you can determine the name
  and source file location of the variable where it points, using
  @samp{p/a @var{pointer}}.  This interprets the address in symbolic
  form.

And your change makes it so the symbol is printed even without the /a
part, AFAIU.  So what am I missing?
