Yes.

I'd guess it's because of the FIXME in profiler-call-tree-build-1.
I.e. you should be able to work around this limitation by increasing
profiler-max-stack-depth.

As you may see, it's handled very specially, and is presented always at
top-level.  I basically treat it as a separate (cooperative) thread.
So "Automatic GC" is meant as the name of the "thread" more than the
name of the function.
