Yes. You can find information about this decision in the list
archives. We need to use libthread_db.so.1 to retrieve thread IDs, and
we do not have a graceful way to use it for only core dumps which
belong to the native system (as opposed to sysrooted or cross core
dumps).

Not really. The ID is a pointer above 0x80000000, used by the
implementation.
