I can confirm this in 3.1.  It's present in 3.0, but worked in 2.95.3. 
It's quite annoying, since GDB can't infer the right answer.

Here's another example:

typedef __complex__ float cf;
struct x { char c; cf f; } __attribute__ ((__packed__));
struct unpacked_x { char c; cf f; };

Compile and compare the debug info; it does not respect __packed__.
