Answer is inline, but a ways down.

%r?x are the 64 bit versions of %e?x which are the 32 bit versions of %?x
:)
I think this is a peculiarity of long vs. normal mode and that the CALL
instruction prefix is the same for 32 and 64 bit quantities. Its entirely
possible gdb is just decoding the instruction wrong, assuming its 32 bit
and not 64.
Can you print the value of callback in the request there? I wonder if the
pointer is somehow mangled.
