Then I'm really stumped.

If you start GDB from the shell prompt, like this:

  $ gdb ./emacs

and then, when GDB shows its "(gdb)" prompt, type

  (gdb) set debuginfod enabled on

do you also see that "No symbol" error message?

And also please try this:

 $ gdb -i=mi ./emacs
 ...
 -gdb-set debuginfod enabled on

and see if you get any error message that way.
