hi,
right you are.. does attached patch help?

Milian Wolff reported non functional DWARF unwind under perf
script. The reason is that perf script does not properly configure
callchain_param.record_mode, which is needed by unwind code.

Stealing the code from report and leaving the place for
more initialization code in a hope we could merge it with
report__setup_sample_type one day.

Adding a "Tested-by: Milian", Ok?
