Temporarily revert symbol lookup cache.
clear_symtab_users calls breakpoint_re_set before observer_notify_new_objfile(NULL), and thus symbol lookup done during breakpoint_re_set will see a stale cache. Presumably we just need to move the call to observer_notify_new_objfile(NULL) to before breakpoint_re_set, but need to check for other such issues, and 7.9 is scheduled to branch tomorrow.
