I just tested with 4.1.6 with the same result. I'm sending you a link to
the bzImage in question
http://georgi.unixsol.org/cruft/tmp/bzImage-4.1.6-clouder1 ( I assume
you meant the bzImage, if you need I can provide the vmlinux as well).
Unfortunately, I couldn't figure how to obtain the log of kdump in
textual format (and didn't want to send pictures). Here are the 3
relevant lines (from memory):

Saving vmcore-dmesg.txt
Missing the struct log size export
Error saving vmcore-dmesg.txt.

Yet, when I load the crashdump inside the 'crash' utility and invoke the
'log' command the dmesg log is there. Whereas the
vmcore-dmesg-incomplete.txt is empty.
