Actually I don't understand where's the bug.  The above string is
printed if previous_inferior_ptid != inferior_ptid in normal_stop().
previous_inferior_ptid is reproducible == {pid = 42, lwp = 0, tid = 0}
while inferior_pid is set to all zero.  The pid 42 is coming from
remote-sim.c, function gdbsim_create_inferior, which always generates
a pid 42.  What's the exact problem with this?
