dso_list and executable identification (their build-id) are also part of the core file. It is only filesystem defect it can map filename -> content but it cannot map build-id -> content. There are many indexing solutions for it, including slocate, when you have started to talk about not 100% reliable solutions.

If you really mean all that info does belong to a core file then I no longer have any objections, Linux kernel can put a lot of redundant info into the core file.
