I oversimplified the awk line, causing some garbage to appear at the end
:-(  The full awk line I am using is 

awk '
/^Contents of / { if (read) exit }
/^The section / { if (read) exit }
/^The section .debug_info contains:/ { read=1 }
/DW_TAG_/ { grab=0 }
/DW_TAG_typedef/ { grab=1 }
/DW_AT_name/ { if (read && grab) { print $0 } }
'
