I don't want to block this patch, but my thoughts after reading this is that this is repeating the same mistakes that we did with dwarf. The reason we need so much to run our tests in so many configurations is that we haven't found a way way to handle the fact that some things can be expressed in multiple ways in the debug info other than compiling the source code with the compiler which happens to use that dialect. Then, if a later e.g. clang chooses to do the same thing that msvc does, we lose coverage here without anyone noticing. For low-level details like these, I believe a test where the type of the symbol is explicit would be more appropriate (for dwarf that might be a .s file, I don't know if that would work for pdbs).
