Actually, I take this back: the addresses in emacs_backtrace.txt seem
reasonable, similar to addresses shown in GDB backtraces from a 64-bit
Windows build we have on the bug tracker.

So the suspicion goes back to addr2line, although I see the same
problem with my version, which I built myself and which works
flawlessly with the 32-bit MinGW build of Emacs.

And also, please try the other method described in the manual:

  The hexadecimal numbers are program addresses, which can be
  associated with source code lines using a debugging tool.  For
  example, the GDB command ‘list *0x509af6’ prints the source-code
  lines corresponding to the ‘emacs[0x509af6]’ entry.

So could you try this method with a couple of addresses shown in
emacs_backtrace.txt you have?  Does "list *0xNNNNN" yield reasonable
source locations?
